Some bricks already come with a metal sheet on the sides and therefore shouldn\'t have metal shims inserted between them - possibly why your text says not to use the shims (see p19 https://www.academia.edu/11747890/Rotary_kiln_brick_installa... )



Also called keying shims

Example sentence(s):
Key shims are driven in to tighten the rings
The thickness of the metal shims required for keying of the individual bricks must not exceed 2 mm
