Abstract
A method for continuous estimation an instantaneous weight of a graphite electrode being consumed in an electric arc furnace. The method includes the steps of continuously sensing a hydraulic pressure acting on a mast holding the graphite electrode; converting each one of the sensed hydraulic pressures to a corresponding weight of the graphite electrode; and determining from the corresponding weights of the graphite electrode the instantaneous weight of the graphite electrode.
