    I would imagine that how well something is recovered from a drive really depends on how hard somebody is looking, if they are looking the other way they likely will see nothing at all.

    Really, how close do you need to get to an open container of molten steel before it burns you up? I would think that the IR coming off of something like that would be fierce.
    We used to burn trash and pallets by placing them by a BOP furnace. Tilt the furnace for a bit, and it starts on fire.

    Same thing, if they were going to service a hot ladle. Tilt the ladle on it's side. While the guys are in the back changing the gate nozzle, the pallet set at the open end would burn.

    A full ladle having a few pounds of various metals to adjust the chemistry 'splashed'. The sparks/splash ignited some garbage that had blew in the door. The fire then burned through a welding station hose and got a really good fire going.


    ....


    I used a thermal sensor before, measured outside temp of a tundish box and a ladle.
    I can't remember which was which, but one was 700 degrees, and the other was 400 degrees.

    I set my screwdriver down on a tundish box to work on an Amepa plug. The tundish box was empty, but still warm.
    My screwdriver handle partially melted before I noticed it.

    Worked on a shroud manipulator pendant next to where a ladle had just been taken away. Can't wait for it to cool, because you only have 1/2 an hour or so to replace what you need to.
    It was too hot to take my glove off. But a B**** and a half to work with #8 screws with the glove on.

    Also, a small problem with the movie.

    When you dip a room temperature item into steel, it 'REACTS'.

    sparks, flame, and some steel will fly out.

    When I was new, I 'helped' and old timer out.
    After he took the temp, I took the sleeve off the pipe, and threw it into the steel.
    OOPS!
    A lotta hot stuff flew back at me. Yikes.
    I asked why it didn't do that for him.

    He would throw the sleeve so that it fell on the slag, and it fell sideways, to lay on top.
    I threw it into the steel like a spear, and not into the slag.
    The part that penetrated INTO the steel REACTS rather violently.

    Men have caught splash from steel reactions before, and burned to death.

    I understood screwdriver in that post, but not much else. :):
