Tuyere Pyrometer

Converter temperature control

The Tuyere Pyrometer continuously and accurately monitors bath temperature which is required for proper flux and slag control to maximize refractory life. It is also a tool for predicting and detecting oxidation of FeS and CuS. When adjusting oxygen enrichment levels, accurate and immediate temperature control is needed.

Periscope is integrated into the raise-lower “Smart Cylinder” design
Interlocked with the Tuyere Puncher to ensure Periscope is never hit by a punch bar
Temperature range 1050 – 1400°C, Accuracy +/- 5°C
