text: Another advantage of the ladle of the present invention is that it maximises the head of metal above the treatment agent when the ladle is in the vertical position.
text: The ladle of the present invention is useful because it minimises the surface area of the metal that is exposed to the air when the ladle is in the horizontal position.
text: In a particular embodiment, the pocket extends from the first end of the ladle liner away from the interior space (i.e. extends below the first end when the ladle is in its vertical position).
text: The ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal position may be at least 1:1, at least 2:1, at least 3:1 or at least 5:1.
text: The ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal position may be no more than 6:1, no more than 4:1, or no more than 3:1.
text: In an embodiment where the pocket extends from the first end away from the interior space, the ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the length of the pocket may be at least 1.5:1, at least 2:1, at least 2.5:1 or at least 3:1.
text: In an embodiment where the continuous sidewall is defined by three sidewall portions, such that the cross-section of the continuous sidewall is substantially triangular, the ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the length of a sidewall portion may be at least 1:1, at least 1.5:1 or at least 2:1.
text: In such a case, the ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the radius of the circle inscribed by the triangular cross-section may be at least 1.5:1, at least 2:1, at least 2.5:1 or at least 3:1.
text: The height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position is labelled x.
text: In this embodiment, the length of each side of the triangle is approximately 740mm such that the ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position (labelled x in figure 1 C) to the length of a length of the sidewall portion is approximately 1.8:1.
text: In this embodiment, the inscribed circle has a diameter of approximately 427mm such that the ratio of the ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position (labelled x in figure 1 C) to the length of a diameter of the circle is approximately 3.2:1
text: A vertical plane (intermediate the first and second ends of the liner when the ladle is in its horizontal position) is chosen in order to evaluate the shape of the ladle liner.
text: Conveniently, the vertical plane may be equidistant the first and second ends of the liner when the ladle is in its horizontal position.
text: The height of the interior space (the distance between the top and bottom of the interior space, as defined by the interior of the continuous sidewall) when the ladle is in its horizontal position may be from 200mm to 1500mm, from 400mm to 1000mm, or from 600mm to 800mm.
text: The ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal position may be at least 1:1, at least 2:1, at least 3:1 or at least 5:1.
text: The ratio of the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position to the height of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal position may be no more than 6:1, no more than 4:1, or no more than 3:1.
text: filling the ladle whilst it is in its horizontal position to a level below the pocket with molten metal,
text: In a particular embodiment, the ladle is filled to a level corresponding to the plane midway between the top and bottom of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal position.
text: This provides an additional increase in the head of metal over the treatment agent when the ladle is in the vertical position because molten metal can fill the pocket.
