Thickness measurement in continuous hot mill<br />

• In a continuous hot mill, the strip thickness is measured indirectly<br />

by measuring the rolling load and using the characteristic curve <strong>of</strong><br />

the mill to establish the thickness.<br />

• The error signal is fedback to the rolling mill screws to reposition them<br />

so as to minimise the error.<br />

• An x-ray gauge is used after the last stand to provide an absolute<br />

measurement <strong>of</strong> sheet gauge.<br />
