Abstract
A carrying tower for a metallurgical vessel includes at least one carrying arm for accommodating the vessel. The carrying arm projects from a carrying column and has a weighing device. Also the arm is dividedly designed and the carrying arm parts thus formed are articulately connected with each other about a horizontal axis. For exactly measuring the weight of the metallurgical vessel held by the carrying arm, the carrying arm parts each have a supporting face for support with respect to each other, which supporting faces are arranged at a distance from the axis connecting the carrying arm parts, and a force measuring device inserted between these supporting faces.
