A clip for supporting a refractory structure and/or a hanger structure. The clip can have a body with two legs connected to a top. A fastener that extends through the top can be adjusted and/or secured to fix a relative position of the clip with respect to the refractory structure and/or the hanger structure. An adjuster that extends through the top, such as a tab connected to or integrated with the top, can be used to adjust a distance, such as a vertical height, of the clip with respect to adjacent fixed structural members. The adjuster can be used to compensate for a distance change resulting from the refractory structure, the hanger structure, one or more adjacent fixed structural members, and/or any other similar structure, bending, flexing and/or otherwise deforming due to exposure of the components to a relatively high temperature.

A refractory anchor including an elongated mounting pin having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end seen in the longitudinal direction of the elongated mounting pin, wherein the first end of the elongated mounting pin is weldable to an object, the refractory anchor further includes two anchor fins of which each has a first anchor fin section having a first side and an opposing second side located at a distance of the elongated mounting pin with respect to the first side, wherein the first side is connected to the elongated mounting pin.

A refractory anchor including an elongated mounting pin of which one end is weldable to an object and a plate-like anchor fin connected to the elongated mounting pin. The refractory anchor(s) may be included in an assembly in which a number of refractory anchors are welded to an object, and also disclosed is a method for manufacturing the assembly.

A honeycomb metal anchoring structure, as described herein, is formed from a plurality of strips assembled in pairs so as to define a plurality of cells. Each strip is divided along its length into a plurality of portions, including at least one series of planar assembly portions juxtaposed and assembled with a series of assembly portions of an adjacent strip by fastening means, each strip having a lower longitudinal edge intended to be applied against a wall to be protected and an upper longitudinal edge opposite the lower longitudinal edge. The anchoring structure additionally comprises a plurality of protective tabs connecting each pair of juxtaposed assembly portions each protective tab being attached to an assembly portion by a longitudinal join line and extending in the direction of the juxtaposed assembly portion, at least up thereto.

The invention relates to a honeycomb metal anchoring structure (10), formed from a plurality of strips (12) assembled in pairs so as to define a plurality of cells (14). Each strip (12) is divided along its length into a plurality of portions, including at least one series of planar assembly portions (121, 122) juxtaposed and assembled with a series of assembly portions of an adjacent strip by fastening means, each strip (12) having a lower longitudinal edge intended to be applied against a wall to be protected and an upper longitudinal edge opposite the lower longitudinal edge. The anchoring structure additionally comprises a plurality of protective tabs (16) connecting each pair of juxtaposed assembly portions (121, 122), each protective tab (16) being attached to an assembly portion (122) by a longitudinal join line (18) and extending in the direction of the juxtaposed assembly portion (121), at least up thereto.

Refractory anchoring devices include a main body and a mounting feature for mounting to a thermal vessel. The main body has the shape of two end-to-end Y's forming a central segment, two branch segments extending from each end of the central segment, and an extension segment extending from each of the four branch segments, to collectively form four unenclosed cell openings that are each semi-hexagonal in shape. Some embodiments include four reinforcement segments with each one extending into a respective cell opening, four voids with each one extending through respective adjacent branch and extension segments, an underbody gap formed under the central segment for refractory interlinking between cell openings, and/or a single stud-welding stud for the mounting feature. Refractory anchoring systems and methods include an array of the refractory anchoring devices arranged and mounted so that the unenclosed semi-hexagonal cell openings of adjacent anchoring devices cooperatively form substantially hexagonal cells.
