Lining Ladles
The process of daubing loam or ramming sand on the inner surface to protect them from the action of the molten metal. All ladles above 8 tons capacity should have a fire-brick lining all through; below this, if the ladle bottom is perforated to let out the steam, a fire-sand bottom, rammed over one inch in depth of fine cinders, will serve, one inch of daubing being sufficient for the sides. See DAUBING; INGOTS; LADLES.
