9 CasTemp Superheat
9.1 CasTemp Superheat Introduction
Heraeus Electro-Nite (HEN) has developed a CasTemp Superheat package as a means for
enhancing the visualization of dynamic Superheat during casting, and ultimately helping to improve
the process control of casting through optimal use of the features included in the package. In addition
to the CasTemp continuous temperature measurement, the CasTip direct reading liquidus sensor will
measure the Liquidus in the tundish. The system includes integration of the CasTip direct reading
liquidus sensor to measure tundish liquidus and hence offer a current superheat and a forward
prediction towards end of cast. Software version >6.4 or greater will allow both measurements to be
displayed on the CasTemp Wireless instrument screen as part of the CasTemp Wireless instrument
system. Also the system can predict when the superheat will go lower than a customer’s defined
critical limit. The system is available through software upgrade and integration of inputted plant data.
All CasTemp Wireless instrument models are capable of the software upgrade to CasTemp
Superheat functionality. QUBE CTW modules need to be on firmware version 571 or greater.
