The Measurement and Control of Liquid Steel Temperatures.

JSGT 1943 V27 T022-T031

An account, essentially, of the application of “quick-immersion” thermocouples to the measurement of liquid steel temperatures in open-hearth, electric arc, high-frequency induction, and Bessemer converter furnaces. Details are given of the equipment of the apparatus and of the procedure essential to ensure satisfactory results, and results are quoted to illustrate the value of the measurements which can be made. Suggestions are made to enable similar measurements to be made in a mass of molten glass.
