The failure of fire‐brick in oil fired furnaces results from (1) spalling and falling of side wall bricks, (2) disintegration of bricks in direct path of flame, (3) glazing of surface with green glaze which penetrates and weakens brick, and (4) erosion by flame. A plea is made for more research in the field.
