Start date 1 July 1998

End date 30 June 2001

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 668 600,00

EU contribution € 401 160,00

Objective

The target of the project is to work out a fully new way of measurement of the true radiation temperature of technical hot surfaces for example steel strips in a continuous furnace by using a Fourier-spectrometer where the strips work as infrared source for the device. The method will be used for the measurement of the temperature of hot steel strips in a continuous furnace and for the control of the thermal processes. The commonly unknown emissivity coefficient is separated by mathematical algorithms. Chemical agents generate narrow absorption lines from which the components can be identified by in situ spectroscopy that can be used for control of stability and quality of the processes The experiments will be theoretically analysed and simulated by advanced numeric work.
