Arrangement to be used in a continuous casting plant

In an arrangement to be used in a continuous casting plant of the type including two oppositely arranged roller ways forming a section between them and each roller way being formed by a plurality of rollers, a measuring body for measuring the distance between the two oppositely arranged roller ways being provided, which measuring body is adapted to be moved between the section formed by the two oppositely arranged roller ways and includes a distance-measuring device fastened within said measuring body and oppositely arranged contact surfaces, said rollers having surface areas to be contacted by said contact surfaces, the improvement which is characterized in that said oppositely arranged contact surfaces of said measuring body are formed by elastically deformable spring steel strips having a longitudinal extension that is longer than the axial distance of three neighbouring rollers in one roller way, and in that pressure units are provided between said spring steel strips for pressing said spring steel strips against said surface areas of said rollers, said distance-measuring device contacting the inner side of a spring steel strip.
