Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the local erosion of a protective tube and to enable the execution of continuous temperature measurement for a long time, by moving the protective tube upward and downward in a molten metal and by rotating the same around the axis in the longitudinal direction, on the occasion when a sensor for temperature measurement is dipped in the molten metal for measuring temperature. CONSTITUTION:A platinum-rhodium thermocouple is disposed inside a protective tube 1 whose main constituent is boride ceramics, and terminals of the thermocouple are connected to a meter by compensation conductors through the intermediary of a connection terminal box 5. At the time of dipping in a molten metal for measuring temperature, the protective tube 1 is moved upward and downward and rotated by a supporting device 6 which moves the protective tube 1 upward and downward and rotates it while supporting the terminal box 5 on the upper side of the protective tube 1. When the temperature of the molten metal is measured, molten slug floats much in the surface part of the molten metal and this part tends to be oxidized at high temperature. Therefore, erosion can be prevented by a means wherein the same position of the protective tube 1 is not located in the surface part of the molten metal for a long time. Thereby the local erosion of the protective tube is prevented and the execution of continuous temperature measurement for a long time is enabled.

(Prior art) Conventionally, radiation thermometers, optical pyrometers, thermocouple thermometers, etc. have been provided as methods for measuring the temperature of high-temperature molten metals such as hot metal and molten steel. A thermometer is preferred, and the most commonly used is a consumable temperature needle with the tip of a platinum-rhodium thermocouple (hereinafter referred to as PR thermocouple) protected by a quartz tube. Usually used for hot metal, molten steel, etc. If the thermocouple is immersed in water, the heat-sensitive part will melt in a very short time (10 to 20 seconds) and become unusable. The thermometer needed to be replaced. For this reason, it is difficult to control quality and operation, and the temperature measurement cost 1- is high, so a thermometer that can continuously measure temperature for a long time is strongly desired.

As a protection tube for such an immersion type thermometer, for example,
As shown in No. 5-38290, the outer part to be inserted into the high-temperature temperature measurement atmosphere is mainly composed of boron nitride, and in others, a composite of metallic molybdenum and zirconia ceramics is used. Protective tubes made of material are provided.

However, in the case of thermometers using these protective tubes, hot metal,
For continuous temperature measurement of molten steel, even if a protection tube with a wall thickness of 15+nn is used, the life is insufficient because the protection tube is corroded by hot metal and molten steel in 5 to 10 hours. However, recently, materials that are preferred for such protective tubes, namely those with the best corrosion resistance against molten metals such as hot metal and molten steel, and with sufficient strength, have been developed.
Boride ceramics have been provided as having heat resistance and thermal conductivity. Examples of such boride ceramic materials include ZrB2, TiB2, TUB, and the like.

特にZrB、は前記の材質条件を最も具備している。In particular, ZrB most satisfies the above-mentioned material conditions.

1Al, 0. .. Easily attacked by oxides such as 5in2. For this reason, when the temperature of molten metal such as hot pig iron or molten steel is continuously measured, the above-mentioned molten slag floats in the vicinity of the molten metal, and oxidation is intense at the gas-liquid interface of the protection tube.

Due to the weakening of the structure of the protective tube material and the influence of the two lotions caused by the flow of molten metal, the amount of local corrosion of the protective tube in this area is significant, and the corrosion resistance of boride ceramics to molten metal is deteriorated. There is a problem in that temperature measurement becomes impossible in a very short time compared to the expected lifespan, and a method that can measure temperature over a long period of time has been strongly desired.

(Means and effects for solving the problem) The gist of the present invention is to provide a thermometer that measures temperature by immersing it in molten metal while protecting the temperature sensor with a protective tube mainly made of boride ceramic. , a method for preventing damage to a protection tube type continuous thermometer, which is characterized in that the thermometer rises or descends or rises and falls in molten metal during temperature measurement, and rotates around an axis in the longitudinal direction of the protection tube.

Normally, when measuring the temperature of molten metal such as hot metal or molten steel in blast furnaces or continuous casting equipment, a large amount of molten slag floats on the surface of the hot water, and the temperature of the protection tube near the surface of the hot water exceeds 1400°C, causing oxidation. Easy to do.

In addition, since the tundish and the gutter are containers whose length in the horizontal direction is larger than the cross-sectional area of the flow path, the molten metal flows rapidly. Therefore, due to local erosion of a portion of the protection tube near the site, temperature measurement is often forced to be interrupted within an extremely short period of time.

As a means of preventing local damage, the present inventors have conducted numerous experiments and found that it is important to avoid contacting the same position with molten slag for a long period of time, and to avoid placing the same position at the gas-liquid interface. It was found that it is effective in preventing corrosion and high-temperature oxidation at the gas-liquid interface.

Furthermore, the simplest solution is to raise or lower the protective tube or repeatedly move it up and down during temperature measurement;
Regarding the prevention of two lotions due to flow, it is important not to leave the same surface facing the flow for a long time, and we have found that the simplest solution is to rotate the protective tube around the longitudinal axis. It is.

Regarding the speed, distance, unidirectional or reciprocating movement of the thermometer, there are no particular regulations as long as the amount of erosion can be made uniform by changing the erosion position, but at least it must be within a range where the correct temperature of the molten metal can be measured. It is necessary to locate the temperature measuring unit at Further, regarding the rotation, the number of rotations and the like are not particularly specified as long as the amount of erosion can be made uniform by changing the erosion position.
