Abstract: Presented is the method of determining air consumption in cupola process by calculating quantity of fuel burned per time unit, using experimen- tal values of fuel carbon combustion rate or cupola capacity. Laboratory and production tests show that actual air consumption is always 5,4 – 5,6 % higher than estimated, which is due to air leaks through the control valves on the pipelines to the tuyeres, and gas leaks when opening metal and slag tap holes.
