SUMMARY:A new solution for steel level control in open stream casting
DESCRIPTION:Ergolines’ Ultrasonic Level Detector technology is an innovative technological solution for the contactless measurement of steel level in open stream casting.
This technological solution is based on real-time measurement of the thermal profile in discrete points, based on the time of fly of ultrasonic waves in the copper tube. This technology, contrary to thermocouples and optical fibres, is contactless and, being installed on the water jacket, requires no machining of the copper tube.
UT-LEVEL is the application of this innovative technology finalized to measure the copper temperature in the meniscus area, generally covering a length of 210mm. Based on the thermal profile data gathered, a dedicated algorithm extracts the steel level position, namely meniscus.
Thanks to the fast response of the sensor and the high-performance electronic computation, the dynamic of the solution is aligned with the radiometric technology, utilized for the steel level control in most of the continuous casting machines worldwide. In detail, UT-LEVEL field of application is open stream casting process.
An additional advantage of this solution is that the data of the thermal profile are visible in a dedicated HMI, and the rear data are available to the CCM for process optimization.
Some systems of this not-radioactive technological solution for steel level control have already been installed and are currently operative.
