About this document
Kiln Chair Pad Shimming Calculations by Ramsai Chigurupati is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes two methods for calculating the shimming of chair pads on a kiln. Method 1 involves measuring air gaps around the kiln when cold and calculating shell expansion and required hot gap. Method 2 involves measuring creep when the kiln is hot and calculating the air gap and shim thickness from the creep measurement. The document provides examples of calculations for both methods. It recommends using the first method and keeping historical creep records when using the second method.
