Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1256401A2] A method for controlling the level of steel in continuous casting in an ingot mold, wherein there are provided a radioactive detector (17, 18) and a thermal detector (22) in the proximity of a level (19) of the steel fed to an ingot mold (13) by a casting duct (15) wherein in a first initial step for regulating the continuous casting method, the radioactive detector (17, 18) is actuated at a high speed of detection of changes in the level (19) of steel, and in a second step at steady condition, as soon as the start up transient has finished, the high-precision steel level (19) thermal detector (22) is actuated. <IMAGE>
