Abstract

Metallurgical processes of refining and degassing liquid metals are related to the blowing-in neutral gasses like for example argon. Effectiveness of the process depends on the flowing gas parameters like: dimensions, velocity, distribution amd gas phase flow zone. These parameters can be changed under the influence of outside magnetic field and formed by it a Lorentz' force. In order to get full information of rising bubbles essential are certain measuring methods. Among many of these the ultrasonic echo pulse method is likely to be the most intensive developed in the past few years. That method enables estimation of gas phase flow parameters in a range from individual bubble flow up to full continuous gas flow at the inlet nozzle. In this paper a measurement principle has been described for an ultrasonic echo method and there also submitted and discussed results of obtained results for diphase flow of GaInSn-argon.
