Patent
CA 2138427
A continuous casting mold comprises a mold tube encased in a water jacket. Means are provided for gauging the level of molten metal in the mold tube so that is can be maintained near the top of the mold tube without overflowing. The gauging means comprise a radioactive source on one side of the mold tube and scintillation crystal detector on the opposite side of the mold tube. The amount of radioactive source material is maintained at an inherently safe level by disposing the source material in one or more recesses in the wall of the mold tube and by employment of a "gel" light tube connection between the scintillation crystal and a photomultiplier.
