INSTALLATION USED FOR ROLLED METAL COOLING

FIELD: rolling-mill machinery. ^ SUBSTANCE: the invention presents an installation for rolled metal cooling and is dealt with metal rolling, in particular with cooling of rolled metal. The installation for rolled metal cooling contains a body with an inlet branch-pipe and two rows of outlet branch-pipes displaced from each other by a half step. Value of a step of the outlet branch pipes in each row does not exceed four internal diameters of the branch-pipes. Across the body opposite to an entry of the inlet branch-pipe a dissector is installed. Along the body opposite to the outlet branch-pipes there are two entire central plates and two fragmentary lateral plates forming two longitudinal funnel-shaped cavities, turned by their narrow parts to each row of outlet branch-pipes. Fragmentariness of the lateral plates is created at the expense at least of one cutout in the base of each plate, at the longitudinal butts of which there are two perpendicularly fixed damping plates facing inside the funnel-shaped cavities. The invention allows to increase evenness, flexibility and efficiency of the rolling metal cooling process and ensures reliable operation of the installation. ^ EFFECT: the invention allows to increase evenness, flexibility and efficiency of the rolling metal cooling process and ensures reliable operation of the installation. ^ 4 silt
