Abstract

See full text

The subject of the invention is a method for regulating the level of the meniscus (13) of the liquid metal in a mold (5) of a machine for the continuous casting of metals, according to which method the electrical signals supplied by at least one pair of sensors (17, 18) overhanging said meniscus are picked up, said signals being a function of the respective distances (h.sub.1, h.sub.2) between said sensors and said meniscus, these two signals are combined so as to obtain a single signal representing an imaginary level of said meniscus and said signal is sent to means (15, 24) for controlling a device (14) for regulating the flow rate of metal penetrating the mold, so that said control means actuate said device so as to bring said imaginary level of said meniscus back to a predetermined set value (h), wherein each signal coming from said sensors is conditioned, eliminating therefrom the oscillations having both a frequency greater than a threshold (F) and an amplitude less than a threshold (D). The invention also relates to a mode of combining said signals and a device for implementing said method.
