VOEST-ALPINE Industrieanlagenbau (VAI) has developed the VAI-CON Temp system for the continuous temperature monitoring in metallurgical vessels. The system has been tested for a variety of installations and has reached industrial perfection. It has many potential applications (from the electric arc furnace to the continuous casting tundish) and, thanks to the highly accurate results it provides, it allows a substantially better process control than the conventional, discontinuous measuring systems.
