Abstract

To improve the hot rolled strip quality and operational stability, a novel tensionmeter based on lever principle is developed which inspects latent waves and provides real references for flatness control in hot rolling process. The contact-type tensionmeter including two segmented rolls can get the transverse tension distribution along the strip width. Tension profile is deduced by different ratio of four force values from the embedded force sensors in tensionmeter system. The compact mechanical structure ensures the tensionmeter's robust stability in hot rolling process, standard hardware and software for data acquisition make the system easy to operate and maintain. The trails have proven tensionmeter successful in improving both strip flatness and mill performance.
