Continuous Measuring of Heat Pattern in Sintering Bed and Its Application to Sintering Operation

Syunji Yasumoto, Syu Tanaka
Synopsis :
In order to raise the productivity of sinter and to control its quality, it is important to grasp the characteristic of the combustion zone in the sintering bed. A heat pattern measuring apparatus recently developed permits a continuous measurement of about 25 heat pattern cycles. It consists of three parts, i.e., a metal-sheathed thermocouple, its protector and telemetry equipment. From a heat pattern obtained by this apparatus, two indexes, Q value and CT value, are calculated. The Q value is estimated by an integration temperature curve above 900Ž, and CT value by the cooling rate from peak to 1100Ž. Results so far obtained through the use of the apparatus are summarized below. (1) A correlation is found between the Q value and shatter strength. (2) A simple correlation is found between FeO content in sinter and the CT value or peak temperature in the sintering bed.
