Abstract
For performing interstand cooling in a tandem rolling mill, at least one of the stands (12, 13) has delivery guides (17, 18) which incorporate equipment for delivering coherent, non-turbulent, curtains of coolant on to the faces of the strip rolled by that stand. The equipment for each guide (17, 18) consists of a coolant manifold (25, 32) formed within the guide structure and a communicating curtain-discharging nozzle (30, 36) which is recessed in the guide plate (21, 22) and which extends over almost the entire length of the guide. The manifold (25, 32) is supplied with coolant through pipes (26).
