The present invention refers to a method for detecting an at least partly bulging portion of an elongated material (18) produced in a continuous casting machine, which machine having a plurality of rollers (10) arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extensions of two tracks (20,22), which tracks are converging towards each other, and the rollers being divided in at least two roller portions each (26) rotatably mounted in supporting members (24) and arranged for transporting said elongated material. The invention is characterized by measuring the radial load exerted by the material on each supporting member of the roller portions of a roller, comparing the radial load values of the supporting members arranged in the ends of two adjacent roller portions facing away from each other with those of the supporting members arranged in the ends of the two adjacent roller portions facing each other, and establishing the presence of an at least partly bulging portion of the elongated material where the divergence between the load values of the supporting members arranged in the ends of the two adjacent roller portions facing away from each other and the supporting members arranged in the ends of the two adjacent roller portions facing each other is exceeding a predetermined value. <IMAGE> |
