Nilsson (MEF), D. Sandström (MEF) Contributors MEFOS, LTU, ABB Keywords: Wireless measurement in hot steel process Abstract This deliverable describes furnace tests made for developing the sensor technique and evaluate the performance of the sen- sors in steel industrial environment. Tests were made at 1250°C in a laboratory electrical furnace and also inside a bed of pellets heated to 950°C. The tested wireless sensors did operate and survive 25 minutes in the 1250°C furnace and for30 minutes in a hot (900°C) pellets bed environment. Even though the full process time last hours lasts longer the duration of the tests made inside
