Abstract
A SUCCESSFUL method for giving the melter an accurate bath temperature reading at any time during the course of a heat enables him to master one of the most important variables in basic electric steelmaking. Here, the authors describe the modification and application of the immersion Rayotube, the result being a rugged, accurate and low-cost method for consecutive bath readings.
