Objective The control of the liquid steel temperature is very important with regard to a better product quality and an energetically optimised metallurgical process at various stages of the process line. A new method for a continuous temperature measurement of liquid steel by pyrometer with optical fibre measurement technology will be developed. The main idea of the new technique is to feed a consumable optical fibre into the liquid steel. The new system will be tested and optimised on several steel plants including EAF furnaces, BOF converters, ladles and tundishes. It will allow a continuous control of the melt temperature, which will be less energy-intensive and will provide better quality than present practice.
