Pipes are manufactured on pipe moulding
machine and mandrels. The mixture of
cement and asbestos is pumped into
mandrel which rotates in between two
rollers. The feeding of slurryis done by
manual operation.
After required thickness the pipe is taken
out with the help of trolley lined with cloth.

3. Fire clay refractories are commonest
of all refractories. Fire clay refractories
containing less than 40% alumina are
classified into:
(1) Medium heat duty, and
(2) High heat duty fire clay refractories
with alumina content of over 30% but
below 40%. Fireclay refractories are
made into bricks and blocks of various
standard sizes and shapes and also as
per specific requirement of user
industries.

4. Fly ash, lime sand and gypsum are manually fed
into a pan mixer where water is added in the
required proportion for intimate mixing. The
proportion of the raw material is generally in the
ratio 60-80% of fly ash 10-20% lime, 10% Gypsum
and 10% sand, depending upon the quality of raw
materials.
After mixing, the mixture is shifted to
thehydraulic/mechanical presses. Thebricks are
carried on wooden pellets to the open area where
they are dried and water cured for 21 days. The
bricks are tested and sorted before dispatch

5. Burnt Lime also called as quick lime or
unslaked lime is made out of lime stone
deposits which are wide spread
throughout the country. The burnt lime is
extensively used as a mortar in the
construction of building by mixing in with
suitable proportion of sand and surkhee of
burnt clay as aggregate. It is also used for
white washing of houses and building. Iron
and steel plants, and foundries use lime as a
fluxing agent in considerable quantity.

6. Silicon Carbide crucibles are made out
of silicon carbide and graphite utilizing
tar pitch or other synthetic resins
as bonding materials. These are highly
refractory products used for melting
ferrous and non-ferrous metals and
alloys in the foundries due to their
superb inherent properties such as
good thermal conductivity, low thermal
expansion, resistance to thermal
shocks, resistance to wetting to molten
metals…

8. Ceramic cores for resistors are
specialized ceramic material made out of
steatite porcelain. These cores are in
the form of rods and tubes of various
diameters and length. It is manufactured
by using highly pure raw materials like
calcined alumina with addition of small
quantity of pure clay. These are used in
consumer electronic products such as
radios, televisions and sophisticated
electronic instruments.

9. Photochromic lenses darken on
exposure to sunlight and protect
the eyes from ultraviolet radiation
Glasses automatically adapt to
changes in light conditions. You can
wear them both indoors and outdoors,
rather than needing to switch between
two pairs of glasses (this also means
you'll be less likely to lose them). They
offer 100% protection against harmful
UVA, UVB, and UVC rays

10. Several processes are involved in the
making of bone china, but the ingredient
that sets it apart from other china is that it
contains at least 25 percent bone ash. This
not only adds a certain amount of strength
and white color to china but also makes it
somewhat translucent. Light passes
through it, although it is not
transparent. Bone china is also usually
more expensive than other china, and this
is justified by the processes and intensive
labor involved in its making.

11. The main types of product(s) are: LT
insulators, shackle insulators, split insulators,
kit-kats, outlet boxes, switch boxes,
connectors, plugs, sockets, lamp holders,
bushes, cleats, label racks, bobbins
They are used in telephone and power supply
to houses and other electric applications like
electric iron, toasters, stabilisers, transmission
and distribution of power line at low voltage

12. Hollow Glassware are made from
silica sand and soda ash. Hollow
Glassware contribute about 80% of total
glass production. Major variety of hollow
glassware items are given below:-
i. Different size and colours
decorative cylindrical glass bottles
ii. Glass Tumblers
iii. Lemon Set
iv. Wine and bear mug and ice
cream cup v. Jar and jugs in different sizes and
colour vi. Lantern glass and chimney

13. The best quality of mirror is obtained
by silvering plate glass which produces
true and undisturbed image due to its
high polish, flatness and uniform
thickness. If sheet glass is used instead,
true reflection is not possible because of
characteristic surface waviness of the
glass even though it is of the
highestgrade. It is generally used for
making small mirrors only

14. The glass plate is heated to a
temperature above its softening point
and then subjected to rapid cooling.
The glass is suddenly chilled and in this
process contracts towards the core. It
stretches until it has solidified and is
no longer able to contract further at
this stage the core is still soft. It
contracts against restrained exercise
by the solidified upper layer of the
glass.
Toughened Glass

15. Graphite Crucibles are refractory
containers specially shaped for
metallurgical operations. These are
made of a mixture of Graphite, Refractory
Clay, Grog and other additives. These
crucibles are termed as clay bonded
Graphite crucibles according to the raw
materials used. The crucibles are available
with or without spout. These crucibles are
used for melting ferrous, non-ferrous metals
alloys and noble metals.

16. Mosaic floor tiles are also known as
terrazzo tiles. The main raw materials
used for the manufacture are cement
concrete and coloured stone chips.
These tiles are made generally in the
sizes of 200 x 200 x 20mm, and 300 x
300 x 25mm. These tiles can also be
made in various other sizes, shapes
according to market demand. The tiles
are used for flooring of both residential
and commercial buildings

17. Reinforced cement concrete spun
pipes upto 1000 mm dia are exclusively
reserved for manufacture in the SSI sector.
These pipes are widely used for water
drainage, sewerage, culverts and irrigation.
RCC pipes are classified as pressure and non
pressure pipes viz. NPI, NP2, NP3, P1, P2, P3
for use in specific conditions. These pipes are
made from cement, coarse and fine aggregate,
sand, mild steel and HT rods and bars.

18. Gypsum is the basic raw
material required to
manufacture Plaster of Paris.
These are cleaned and washed
for removal of impurities, dried
in sunlight and then pulverized.
Gypsum powders are calcined in
a rotary drum calcinatory using
light diesel oil/firewood/coal as
fuel.

19. Chemical Porcelain is a white vetrified dense
translucent or glazed body, made of china clay,
quartz, felspar, talc, alumina and additives in
different shapes of thin walled items such as flat
tipped basins, beakers, round rectangular
capsules, combustion boats, crucibles, funnels
dental dissolving cups etc Due to their inherent
properties like resistance to all reagents except
hydrofluoric acid, resistance to thermal shock
with low coefficient of expansion, good thermal
conductivity and mechanical strength they have
wide range of uses.

20. Laminated safety glass is a
sandwich made up of a PVC
interlayer or interlayers adhered
between two glass sheets.
Laminated glass is more
resistant to fracture than
monolithic glass, but in case of
fracture, the PVC interlayer
holds the fragments in place

21. Today sanitary wares are made from
variety of materials each of them having
certain advantages over the others.
However, sanitary wares made of
ceramic has many advantages over
those made of other materials and are
economical also. It has a wide
acceptance in the society. The ceramic
sanitary wares are used for sanitation
purposes and the product ranges from
washbasins, closets, urinals, sinks,
baths to hoppers.

22. Sodium Silicate is used in soaps
detergents and in the manufacture of
silica gel. It is used as a cement,
binder, filler and adhesive. And also
used as a wall coating, in concrete, fire
proofing material and as a sealant. It is
also used to preserve eggs and wood.
Sodium Silicate also finds use in textile
and pharmaceutical industries. Neutral
sodium silicate in liquid form is suitable
for use in pharmaceutical and toilet
preparations.

23. The process consists of grinding of
quartz and feldspar in a ball mill. The
slurry is mixed with clay, sieved, filter
pressed and deflocculated. Items are
fabricated by slip casting in plaster of
paris moulds. The cast pieces are finished
and dried. The articles are single fired at
temp. 1150o-1250oC and glaze finished.
This process provides better quality with
low production cost and less rejections.

24. The operating principle of a
thermometer is quite simple.
A known measure of liquid (mercury,
alcohol, or a hydrocarbon-based fluid) is
vacuum-sealed in a glass tube.
The liquid expands orcontracts when air is
heated or cooled.
As the liquid level changes, a
corresponding temperature scale can be
read to indicate the current temperature.

25. Granite blocks are fed into a fully
automatic circular sawing machine for
slicing. The spacing between the cuts is
preset depending on the thickness of
tiles to be required. The depth of the
cut is adjusted depending on the
hardness of the granite. The hardness
varies depending on the varieties of
granite. Diamond segmented blade is
used for cutting or slicing in which, water
is the coolant.

27. The glass bottle manufacturing plant
would produce green and amber
colored bottles. The facility
would comprise a batch plant, main
manufacturing building with gas fired
furnaces and a warehouse. Glass is a
non-crystalline amorphous solid
made of the fusion of a diverse range
of non-organic oxides found in sand,
soda ash, limestone and other raw
materials.

28. Glass toys are hollow or solid toys made
out of fabrication work from either
colored or transparent glass tubes or
rods respectively. These glass toys are
decorative articles made generally in the
form of biological birds, animals, ships
and model sets etc. having different
shape and size with different attractive
colours. These can very well be produced
in small scale sector only with the help of
a few equipment and little techniques
