EFFECTS OF MODERN QUALITY ASSURANCE ON MEASURING AND TEST ENGINEERING

Significance of the altered quality awareness for the development of measuring techniques for plate, hot wide strip and cold strip mills. Equipment of a heavy plate mill with systems for the measurement of temperature, plate geometry and internal defects. Measurement of temperature, speed, rolling force, strip geometry, thickness profile, flatness and temperature gradient in a hot wide strip mill. Measurement of the geometrical dimensions, strip flatness, surface defects as well as surface roughness and texture in a cold mill. Determination of the structural properties of stainless strip.
