Abstract (en)

[origin: US2002180124A1] It is possible to stably observe the temperature and/or composition of molten iron in a refining furnace by opening a tuyere for observation at all times according to the state of refining. There is provided a method of observing the inside of a molten metal refining furnace comprising the steps of: using a single tube tuyere for observing the temperature and/or composition of molten iron in the refining furnace via a tube penetrating refractories of a furnace wall and/or furnace bottom of the molten iron refining furnace by detecting electromagnetic waves radiated from molten metal at a forward end of the tuyere under a non-contact condition; and using an inert gas or an oxidizing gas, alone or mixed, according to the opening condition of the forward end of the tuyere.
