Culture of Chinese fire pit

 

"Sitting around the stove to brew tea" is a new social and leisure activity in china .

It is usually in a cozy environment that people gather around a fireplace, boiling tea with a fireplace and serving some snacks and fruits alongside. During the tea-boiling process, people can chat and enjoy leisurely time.

For example, some young people will gather with a few friends on weekends, find a beautiful courtyard or a special tea house with a cozy atmosphere, and enjoy a tea-making session while savoring the fragrance of tea and sharing their life stories with each other.

 

 

4. How do concrete fire pits enhance the safety ?

Concrete fire pits enhance safety in several ways.

 

Firstly, concrete is an incombustible material, mainly composed of a composite called Portland cement, which consists of various chemical components such as silicates, calcium oxide, and magnesium oxide. This material itself is non-flammable, thereby significantly reducing the risk of the concrete fire pit self-igniting or catching fire due to high temperatures. The material design of this product aims to prevent fire spread and potential damage. The temperature of a concrete fire pit during normal outdoor usage is approximately 250-500°C. Ronglin has further enhanced the fire resistance of the material after conducting multiple tests.

Study on High-Temperature Resistance of Portland Cement

Abstract: The high-temperature resistance of Portland cement at temperatures of 20℃, 200℃, 400℃, 600℃, 800℃, and 1,000℃ was studied. The macroscopic data such as appearance change, mass loss, and compressive strength were used to represent the high-temperature resistance of Portland cement, and the mechanism of stability change at different temperatures was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The experimental results show that Portland cement can maintain a certain degree of appearance integrity and compressive strength at temperatures below 400℃. When the temperature exceeds 600℃, its stability begins to decline sharply, and large numbers of honeycomb-shaped holes appear in the specimen, causing the C-S-H gel to be completely decomposed, resulting in complete loss of strength and destruction of the specimen. Key words: Portland cement; high-temperature resistance; microscopic analysis;

Secondly, the solid and stable structure of the concrete fire pit makes them less likely to tip over, thus reducing the risk of accidental fires. For example, they can stand firmly in strong winds due to their excessive weight. Similarly, the high retail price in the market is also due to the weight issue, which will be elaborated later on.

 

Moreover, Ronglin's concrete fire pits have been designed with appropriate fire prevention measures to prevent sparks, ash, and embers from escaping and igniting fires around the area.

 

 

5. What kinds of fire pits are there on the market?

 

There are several kinds of fire pits available on the market, each with its unique features and advantages.

 

In terms of shape, there are cylindrical fire pits that provide a sleek and modern look. These fire pits often have smooth lines and a contemporary aesthetic, making them a perfect addition to modern outdoor spaces. The cylindrical design not only offers a visually appealing appearance but also ensures efficient heat distribution.

 

Bowl-shaped fire pits, on the other hand, offer a more traditional and aesthetically pleasing design. They typically have a classic and timeless charm, evoking a sense of warmth and coziness. The curved shape of the bowl helps to contain the fire and creates a focal point in any outdoor setting.
