Mould level measurement

Product catalog summary
Overview
Radiometric mould level measurement is a dominant technology for measuring steel levels in continuous casting, with over 6,000 systems deployed globally. This method provides reliable and precise measurements with a cycle time of 5 ms, optimizing the casting process.

Measurement Technology
The technology uses gamma radiation, which is attenuated as it passes through the mould. The attenuation level, detected by a sensor, indicates the mould level. This method is unaffected by dust, temperature, and vibrations, and is maintenance-free, suitable for all mould types and sizes.

Advantages
  • Robust and reliable
  • Low cost of ownership
  • Compatible with all mould formats
  • Immune to electromagnetic interference
  • Maintenance-free

System Configurations
Various configurations are available depending on space and mould type, including rod sources in lockable shields and dip tubes.

castXpert LB 452 Control Unit
The castXpert LB 452 is a trusted mould level measurement system, supporting up to four independent channels. It features a multilingual interface, high safety standards, and fast processing.

GAMMAcast Detectors
These detectors are maintenance-free, highly sensitive, and robust, suitable for extreme conditions. They offer automatic voltage control, self-diagnostics, and unmatched thermal stability.

QUICK AND PRECISE MOULD LEVEL MEASUREMENT IN CONTINUOUS CASTING APPLICATIONS Radiometric based mould level measurement is the dominating technology for measuring the steel level in continuous casting. This technology has been available for more than 50 years and now with more than six thousand systems deployed. The level of liquid metal in the mould is measured reliably and precisely. The extremely short cycle time of 5 ms allows for an optimum control of the casting process – both in automatic start-up and in normal operation. Measurement technology Gamma radiation is attenuated as it passes...
