Description

2142093 9429823 PCTABS00034 Apparatus and method for determining when the depth of molten (18) poured into a vessel (12) has reached a selected level. A conduit (22) connected to a source of pressurized gas and having an orifice (43) at its distal end (38) restricts the flow of gas out of the conduit which is positioned at a selected level in the vessel. A drop in pressure in the conduit (22) resulting from escape of compressed gas when the distal end (38) is melted by the rising molten metal is detected and signalled to a visible, audible indicator or directly to an electronic controller to discontinue pouring of metal (18) into the vessel (12).

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé déterminant la hauteur du métal fondu (18) versé dans une cuve (12) lorsque celui-ci a atteint un niveau sélectionné. Un tube (22) raccordé à une source de gaz sous pression et possédant un orifice (43) situé à son extrémité distale (38) restreint l'écoulement du gaz hors du tube, ce dernier étant positionné à un niveau sélectionné dans la cuve. Une chute de pression dans le tuyau (22) résultant de l'émission du gaz comprimé lorsque l'extrémité distale (38) a été fondue par le métal fondu montant est détectée et signalée par un témoin visible, sonore ou directement par une unité de commande électronique afin de cesser de verser le métal fondu (18) dans la cuve (12).
