METHOD FOR MEASURING TILTING TORQUE OF CONVERTER, AND CONVERTER DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and accurately measure a torque that actually occurs in a furnace body of a converter.SOLUTION: A method for measuring a tilting torque of a converter includes: first measuring, before putting molten iron into the furnace 10, a torque occurring to the furnace body 10 while rotating the furnace 10 body once; fitting the relation between a rotation angle θ and a torque T obtained by the measurement to a curve line of T=sin(θ+B)+A; and providing the value of A as the initial deviation for torque occurring to the furnace body 10. Moreover, a torque measurement mechanism 11 for detecting a torque is prepared in a torsion bar 7 that supports the rotating reaction force of the torque of the furnace body 10.
