Abstract

Disclosed is an in-furnace slag level measuring apparatus having a microwave radar for measuring a slag level in a convertor or the like. The level of a transmission signal or a reception signal is adjusted in accordance with the level of a detection signal so that the signal level in the microwave radar is adjusted to be constant. Further, the level measurement value and the detection signal are inputted and the level measurement values obtained in a predetermined time are subjected to averaging operation. In the averaging operation, when the detection signal is smaller than a set point, the averaging operation is performed while disregarding the level measurement value at that time.
