BS EN IEC 60779 is the International Standard that specifies the test procedures, conditions, and methods for determining the main performance parameters and operational characteristics of electroslag remelting furnaces.
BS EN IEC 60779 applicable to industrial electroslag remelting furnaces, the rated capacity of which
is equal to, or greater than, 50 kg. And applicable to industrial electroslag remelting furnaces having one or more electrodes and having different melting power supplies, such as alternating current, direct current, or low-frequency current.
Note: Measurements and tests that are solely used for the verification of safety requirements of the installations are outside the scope of this document and are covered by BS EN IEC 60519-1 and BS EN IEC 60519-8.
BS EN IEC 60779 on electroheating and electromagnetic processing is applicable to:
Remelting is an important process in refining metals and super-alloys. It helps take out the impurities and gives out high quality residue.
BS EN IEC 60779 International Standard provides you with the guidelines for test procedures, conditions, and methods for determining overall performance of electroslag remelting furnaces which improves its performance and quality of industrial processes applied in electroslag remelting furnaces.
BS EN IEC 60779 provide you the concept and material on energy efficiency dealing with the electrical and processing parts of the installations, as well as the overall performance. This helps you to reduce operating cost and increase the productivity of industrial processes applied in electroslag remelting furnaces.
