Abstract
Currently the measurement of blast furnace conditions is performed for a variety of purposes. This chapter outlines the progress being made in areas of blast furnace measurement, ranging from the clarification of blast furnace reactions to the control of furnace operations. The description centers not so much on measurement hardware as on measuring methods and their application to blast furnace operations. With the development of blast furnace operations, a wide variety of measuring methods have been developed to clarify furnace physics and chemistry. Today some of these measuring processes are increasingly being built into routine blast furnace instrumentation. In recent years a number of blast furnaces have been dissected for analysis. As a result, furnace burden behavior is better understood and many control points of blast furnace operation have been clarified. This has resulted in a demand for the measurement of variables at these control points in an operating furnace. This is why new measuring methods have been studied, and the result is that the technical level of blast furnace operations has since been improved.
