    This document examines the relationship between metal temperature and melting rate for various blast rates and fuel ratios in cupola furnaces. It presents data on melting rates in pounds of metal per hour per square foot of cupola area for different blast rates measured in cubic feet per minute per square inch of cupola area and fuel ratios in pounds of carbon per ton of metal. The data shows that higher blast rates and lower fuel ratios result in higher melting rates and metal temperatures.
