FOUNDRY LADLE OR INTERMEDIATE VESSEL FOR RECEIVING A LIQUID METAL, COMPRISING AN INTEGRATED MEASURING ELEMENT FOR DETECTING THE TEMPERATURE AND/OR MECHANICAL LOAD

摘要

The invention relates to a foundry ladle or an intermediate vessel (1) for receiving a liquid metal for further processing of said liquid metal, wherein at least a part of the wall (2) of the foundry ladle or of the intermediate vessel (1) comprises at least one measuring element (3) for detecting the temperature and/or the mechanical load. In order to be able to detect the temperatures and/or the mechanical load in the wall of the foundry ladle or in the intermediate vessel precisely, quickly and along the extension of the wall, according to the invention the measuring element (3) comprises at least one optical waveguide which is integrated in the wall (2) of the foundry ladle or of the intermediate vessel (1).
