Abstract: A system for detection of the level of a liquid metal within a crystallizer of a mold has a detection system. The detection system is based on a transmission of at least one signal transmitted toward a crystallizer having the liquid metal therein and a reception of a reflection of the transmitted signal. A first ultrasonic element transmits a ultrasonic elastic wave and a second ultrasonic element receives the ultrasonic elastic wave. A processor measures a time elapsed between transmission and reception and correlates the elapsed time relative to the level of liquid metal in the crystallizer.

Abstract: A device and method for measuring the surface level and/or the presence of a molten metal bath in a cooled container, particularly a crystallizer for a continuous casting process, comprising a source of an electromagnetic field, wherein said source of an electromagnetic field is a transmission coil fed with electrical energy at a predetermined frequency. The information on the level and/or the presence of said surface level is obtained by processing the total impedance (Z), as measured on said transmission coil, in order to calculate the contribution to said impedance (Z) of the currents induced in the walls of the crystallizer, which depend on temperature of the crystallizer and, from it, the value of said surface level and/or the presence of the molten metal bath.
