scope:

This part of IEC 60519 applies to installations predominantly using the effect of electromagnetic forces on liquid metals: - installations for electromagnetic (induction) stirring or transport of liquid metals at low frequencies; - installations that influence the pouring process by an electromagnetic field; - parts directly affected by the electromagnetic stirring, transport or pouring installation. Examples of application: - stirring devices for casting machines, arc furnaces, ladles, etc.; - transport of liquid metal for emptying or filling furnaces, launders or moulds; - devices to transport liquid metal with simultaneous proportioning of the transported quantity, for example, for filling diecasting machines; - influencing the ingot surface or the pouring stream enhancing crystallization by means of an electromagnetic field during continuous casting; - sealing of mechanical gaps of melt vessels, for example, in vertical galvanizing line. This standard consists of - requirements common to installations using the effect of electromagnetic forces on liquid metals; - specific requirements for electromagnetic pouring equipment (Annex A); - specific requirements for electromagnetic equipment with lining (Annex B).
