Abstract
A metal product having at least one plane surface, e.g. steel strip, is cooled by means of an aqueous fluid as it moves along a predetermined path by apparatus comprising a wall disposed opposite the plane surface of the product and substantially parallel thereto so as to form a chamber of substantially constant thickness between the plane surface and the wall, at least one aperture in the wall communicating with the chamber for the passage of the aqueous fluid connected to the aperture through the wall. The aperture is connected to a source of the aqueous fluid. The rate of flow of the aqueous fluid and the spacing between the wall and the plane surface are both adjustable.
