Conclusion
Random or intuitive selection of placement of parts on a furnace hearth may significantly reduce the indices of an operating furnace and the construction of one being designed.
In such a selection as the value to be determined it is desirable to consider not the optimum specific load on the hearth or the thickness of the layer of parts but the rational range of its values.
