METHOD FOR MEASURING CASTING FLOW DURING CONTINUOUS CASTING

摘要

PURPOSE:To realize a stable operation by inserting a pressure receiving body into a molten metal casted in a mold during continuous casting and detecting a fluid pressure due to the molten metal. CONSTITUTION:Two casting flow sensors 7 are disposed so that the pressure receiving body 7a of the top end is situated at an upper layer of the molten steel A in the mold 3 to measure the state of the casting flow especially the flow rate generated at the upper layer of the molten steel A in the mold 3. Namely, two stands 6 are fixed and disposed at suitable positions on a protecting cover 4 covering an upper surface of the mold 3 and sheltering the refractory to support the sensor 7. A counter force at the body 7a caused by receiving the fluid pressure due to the molten metal A is detected as a strain quantity of a strain plate 7d. Thereby, the flow rate of the casting flow is obtained.
