Tuyere .No 1&4 Condition straight 0.1/0.3 0.1,0.3 Observation Lime found in front of tuy.no 3 &2. no rotation observed. Cluster of lime observed Lime found in front of tuy. no 1 &4. no rotation observed. Lime movement is very slow and tries to settle it backside. Very slow movement in front of slag door. Rigorous reaction at the centre. Slow rotational movement. lime tries to settle at the dummy tuyre Very slow rate of rotation. No clustering of lime. Lime particles starts moving after a long duration. Remarks GOOD

Lime dissolution time: 8,9,11s. lime rotation is excellent. No clustering of lime. No clustering of lime, mixing and rotation is very fast. Mixing is fast. Lime rotation in the centre of the bath. Lime settles at the tap hole side. Mixing is very good. No clustering of lime. Some of the lime is settles in front of the dummy tuyure Slight improvement in rotation.
