ABSTRACT:
A gage, for determining the taper angle of the inner faces of the end walls of a continuous casting mold, includes a pair of rigidly connected, spaced apart, elongated, wall contact strips having parallel straight edges for engaging the wall for substantially its full height. A center, measuring strip is arranged between the wall contact strips and is pivotally connected to them at their lower ends. The measuring strip is pivoted by a manually operable screw that connects its upper end to the upper end of a wall contact strip. A level indicator mounted upon the top of the measuring strip indicates when that strip is vertical. A distance indicator gage mounted on the strips measures the amount of pivotal movement of the measuring strip until it becomes vertical. The taper gage is suspended in a mold and the wall contact strip straight edges are pressed against a mold end wall. Then the operator manipulates the screw to pivot the measuring strip until the level indicates that it is vertical. At that point, he reads the distance measuring indicator which may be calibrated to directly read the wall taper.
