Continuous Caster
 Temperature Applications- Slab/Strand—at Mold Exit - Slab/Strand—in Spray Chamber - Slab/Strand—on Run out Table In the caster, product quality and throughput have a significant effect upon plant productivity and profitability. With real time temperature measurement in the containment section of the caster,process parameters can be verified and adjusted to optimize the process. With better control of the nozzle spray patterns and flow rates, temperature gradients that can result in cracking, loss of material properties, and additional wear on equipment may be eliminated. The overall result is a more efficient process yielding better quality steel and greater equipment life. The FiberView 9100 ArmorGuard System is used to provide continuous slab temperature measurements within the containment zones of the caster. The unique dual-wavelength design provides accurate and reliable measurements as it views through water spray and dirty optics while automatically compensating for changes in emissivity, surface scale, oxides, and lubricant contaminants. This system has a proven record of virtually maintenance-free operation in this hostile environment where no others have survived in the past.
