Abstract
Abstract Fluid containing support members of walking beam mechanisms for moving beams and the like in furnaces are insulated with refractory ceramic fiber blanket modules. The modules are wrapped about the support members and attched with attachment members. Protective coverings are provided to reduce exposure of the fiber materials from slag from the beams.
