LIMIT SWITCH IN THE WALKING BEAM FURNACE MEASURING THE CONCENTRATION OF ELECTROPLATING SOLUTION The walking beam furnace heats the unfinished steel products for further processing in the rolling mill. It is important to know when a steel bar has reached the back end of the walking beam furnace in order to keep the opening time of the furnace at a minimum. A fast limit switch is installed to give an alarm as soon as a steel bar has reached this position. Steel sheet in coils is tinned by leading it through a series of tanks containing electrolyte. The tin concentration of the electrolyte in the...

MEASURING THE MOISTURE IN BUNKER AND SILO The moisture content in the coke and the iron ore/concentrate being fed to a blast furnace is of great importance for thermal control of the blast furnace process. An online moisture measurement at the bunker provides real-time information on the moisture content before the material enters the blast furnace. Application Profile ■ Measurement task Moisture measurement of coke and iron ore/concentrate ■ Location In bunker or in silo ■ Berthold Solution LB 350 Neutron moisture measurement Customer Benefit ■ mproved I thermal control the blast furnace operation...

MEASURING THE MOISTURE OF BLAST FURNACE SLAG (GGBS) MEASURING THE MOISTURE AT THE CONVEYER BELT Grounded granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS or GGBFS) is produced when molten iron slag from the blast furnace is filled in a water basin. The GGBS is a byproduct in the steel industry and sold to the cement industry as aggregate. The producer of the GGBS has to guarantee not to exceed a specific moisture content. The moisture content in the coke or the iron ore/concentrate being fed to a blast furnace is of great importance for thermal control of the blast furnace process. An online moisture measurement...
