Application: A combination of two slide gate plates, one ladle nozzle and one collector nozzle form a set. This entire set is fixed on to the ladle. The ladle nozzle also known as inner nozzle or fixed nozzle is placed in a well block which is embedded in the silica ramming mass lining of the ladle. The slide plates are fitted outside the ladle in a mechanism which is hydraulically operated. The collector nozzle also known as outer nozzle is fitted to the bottom slide gate plate. This system is used for operating and controlling the flow of the molten steel from the ladle to the tundish.

Application: There are various types of tundish nozzles like for up to 2 hours, 5 to 6 hours and long sequence casting of 12 to 18 hours. Based on the operating time, the type of nozzle can be selected. There are different types of nozzles co-molded into a good block, and zirconia inserts co-molded in an alumina carbon body.

Application: This is a very special mortar with very high melting point such that it sustains the temperature of molten steel. The mortar has a high sintering temperature which property gets developed on account of chrome oxide added into the composition.

Life: Every time the refractories are changed, the new mortar needs to be applied. Therefore there is no specific life for this that can be quantified

Castable is also known as unshaped refractory. In the steel industry it is used for backup lining of the vessel. And also for maintenance of the ladle, tundish, furnace launder etc. by way of patching/lining.

Life: For back up lining application the life is substantially high. However for repairs application life is not predictable as proper application methods cannot be followed
