The Institute of Refractories Engineers has announced its Spring Technical Meeting 2026, focusing on refractories insulation, heatflow, and thermal properties. The event is scheduled for 15 April 2026, from 10:00 to 17:00, at the Sandman Signature Quays Hotel, Furnival Rd, Sheffield S2 5SY.
The meeting will cover a wide range of technical topics relevant to engineers and professionals in the refractory and high-temperature industries, including:
- Thermal properties of refractories
- Thermal design and heat transfer
- Gas, oil, and electrical heating systems
- Thermal conductivity measurement
- Effective insulation for molten metal applications
- Water-cooling in arc furnaces and waste-to-energy incinerators
- Surface conditions: radiation and convection
- Mathematical modelling under steady-state and transient conditions
- Scheduling for monolithic dry-out
Tickets for the one-day event are priced at £95.00, offering participants an opportunity to gain practical insights, network with industry peers, and stay updated on the latest engineering practices in thermal management and refractory technology. Professionals interested in attending are encouraged to register early to secure their place at this specialist technical meeting.
