Cooling strand for cooling small-section steel

摘要

A cooling strand for cooling small-section steel has individual cooling tubes arranged coaxially in a water trough along the path of travel of the steel sections. Each tube has a constant internal diameter, a diameter to length ratio of from 1:5 to 1:15 and a number of water feed pipes around its circumference at one end. The water feed pipes direct water under pressure into the tubes in a direction opposite to the direction of travel of the steel sections.
