Abstract

New research method and technique of geometrical parameters of the surface of charging material in the shutdown blast furnace with a compact measuring system based on laser rangefinder and digital graphometer are presented. The possibilities of application of methodology for motion trajectories estimation of the charge flow and displacement of the axial funnel on the basis of non-contact measurements of the charge surface parameters in the furnace top space are shown.
