ABSTRACT In a continuous metal casting process using a rectangular mould having two small side walls clamped between two large side walls, the width of the strand can be changed during casting by releasing the clamping force, moving the large side walls away from the small side walls by a small gap having a predetermined width, and then moving the small side walls towards or away from each other to a desired new distance. In order to determine and control the optimum width of the aforementioned gap irrespective of operational conditions of the mould, the invention provides for con- tinuously monitoring the actual distance between the large side walls resulting from the thermal elongations of the small side walls, and calculating a release position of the large side walls by adding a predetermined gap width to said monitored momentary distance.
