Abstract
An apparatus for cooling a hot rolled steel strip including a transfer means comprising transfer rolls to feed a steel strip which has been hot rolled by a finishing mill; a cooling means for cooling the steel strip; and accompanying rolls arranged with a clearance over the thickness of the steel strip at a position where the accompanying rolls face the transfer rolls through the steel strip to be transferred. The accompanying rolls rotate at nearly an equal peripheral speed as the transfer rolls or at a peripheral speed greater than the transfer speed of the steel strip.
