4.2 Iron and Steel Furnaces
(1) Iron & steel heating furnace
These furnaces are for the heating of steel slabs, and generally the measured gas is at a high
temperature of 1000°C or above. The oxygen concentration is controlled to a low level to prevent
oxidation of the slabs. These are also some cases in which there is some amount of CO in the
gas, and in which magnetic oxygen analyzers or infrared type CO analyzers are used.
