Abstract :
A system for measuring the difference between coke and pellet layers in a blast furnace is described. The measurement is based on a high frequency magnetic proximity principle where coke, a conductor, causes a change in apparent coil resistance. Theoretical and experimental results are presented. The application of the system to No.5 Blast Furnace at Inland Steel (USA) is also presented
