An immersion nozzle for pouring molten metal, especially steel, from a pouring vessel into a mold of a continuous casting machine. The nozzle includes a substantially tubular upper part that can be attached to the pouring vessel and a lower part that has a broad side significantly larger than its narrow side at the opening end. The upper part has, at the end facing the lower part, a flared section that encircles the entry area of the lower part. A seal is provided between the upper part and the entry area of the lower part. The lower part has a support in the entry area. Holding elements are provided so as to touch the support of the lower part and connect the lower part to the upper part.

An apparatus is disclosed for adjusting the inclination of the small sides in a mold for continuous casting, selectively in response to any variations of the mold sides as such, and in response to any variation of the gap between the casting emerging from the mold and the lower end thereof. A feedback loop operating in response to mold side inclination should be responsive to command input which are dependent upon the casting speed.
