PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF POUR MISE EN MARCHE DE LA COULEE CONTINUE DE METAUX AU MOYEN D'UN RECEPTEUR DE RAYONNEMENT FIXE

摘要

The fixedly arranged radiation receiver (1) responds to the radiation spectrum of the smelt and controls the stopper (4) which closes the spout (6) of the ladle or of the tundish. So that there is no need for starting the continuous casting manually, the radiation intensity is measured perpendicularly to the starting head (2), and from it the distance R of the smelt from the receiver (1) is determined according to the relation @ = I DIVIDED R<2>, @ being the radiation intensity and I the light intensity. After a predetermined height of the bath level is reached, the starting head is lowered. <IMAGE>
