Abstract
A span gap runner for detecting and measuring misalignment of rolls in a continuous caster comprises an elongated member having a middle portion recessed from the bottom surface of the member, a position transducer mounted in an aperture of the member and at the midpoint of the member. The member has end portions adapted to span the distance between a three roll segment from a minimum roll spacing to a maximum roll spacing. Span gap is measured between the surface of the middle roll of the three roll segment and a line or plane tangent to the surfaces of the adjacent two rolls.
