A casting tube with a bottom opening for continuously casting steel strands, in particular billets with dimensions of 300 .times. 150 to 500 .times. 300 mm, comprising a converging-diverging end part forming a necking and at least two upwardly inclined lateral outlet openings thus providing for a controlled braking of the flow of steel in the mould. Advantageously, the cross-sectional reduction in the converging part to the necking is 30 to 70 %. The casting tube may be constructed in one piece and have, at its inflow-side, an opening for supplying flush gas.
