METHOD AND DEVICE TO MEASURE ELECTRODE LENGTH

摘要

FIELD: measurement equipment.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to metallurgy. Measurement is carried out with the help of radiolocation. At the same time the radar transceiving device is connected with the help of a device for connection of a wave guide with a wave guide located on an electrode. The waveguide is located in direction of electrode consumption from the end cross section of the electrode to the consumed cross section of the electrode. They measure time difference between sending a radiolocation signal and reception of an echo signal produced when reflected from the point of break in waveguide continuity in the consumed cross section of the electrode. By the specified difference they determine electrode length.EFFECT: increased accuracy of measurements.15 cl, 5 dwg
