The T- gauge is used to ensure the
former is central in the coil by checking
the gap between the former and coil
grout in the bottom of the furnace. It
also used to measure the diameter of
the furnace before breaking the old
lining.
In BISCO. There are four different
diameter T-gauges are used as 56,57,61
and 69 inches respectively.
