Steel is typically produced by heating iron and scrap steel in a furnace with oxygen. Temperature monitoring provides several benefits in process and quality control for steel manufacture.
The acknowledged leader in the field of industrial temperature measurement, We have supplied the iron and steel industry with cutting-edge equipment for more than 70 years. Today, we manufacture an extensive range of advanced instruments designed specifically for key applications within this industry.
APPLICATION NOTE
COKE OVEN TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
High-quality metallurgical coke is a vital raw material for iron and steel production, affecting the furnace operation and standard of the hot metal. It is produced by heating coal in a coke oven in the absence of oxygen. Both the quality and quantity of coke, as well as the lifespan of the oven, depend upon uniform temperature levels, so these require close monitoring. Read More >
MOLTEN METAL ESCAPES AND BREAKOUTS
The escape or breakout of molten metal is a highly important safety consideration in all metal manufacturing industries, particularly steelmaking. The extremely high temperatures involved make any breakout of molten metal extremely hazardous. However, if the metal mixes with water, it can instantly vaporise the water, causing a potentially explosive reaction.
