(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method of measuring the thickness of a rolled steel plate using radiation. (Prior Art) The basic formula for measuring the thickness of a steel plate using the radiation transmission method in this type of measuring method can be expressed by the following formula. t=1/μm・ρ・lnI 0 /It…(1) However, ρ: Density of steel plate, μm: Mass absorption coefficient of steel plate, t: Thickness of steel plate, I 0 : Detected amount of radiation without plate, It: Radiation detection amount with plate Here, the density ρ and mass absorption coefficient μm of the steel plate are:
Since they vary depending on the composition of the steel plate, it is essential to determine an appropriate density ρ and mass absorption coefficient μm in order to achieve highly accurate plate thickness measurement. For this reason, conventional methods have been taken to determine the density ρ and mass absorption coefficient μm as appropriate as possible in accordance with the above-mentioned viewpoint. For example, the composition of a wide variety of steel components may be divided into several categories based on the steel type code classification, etc., and the density ρ and mass absorption coefficient μm determined by calculation for the representative component values of each category, or the empirical A method of calculating plate thickness t using the values of density ρ and mass absorption coefficient μm determined in . Or, more simply, without distinguishing between density ρ and mass absorption coefficient μm, their product μm・ρ
= A method of focusing on μ and making corrections for this μ all at once. Other methods have also been proposed, such as a method that measures plate thickness by making corrections compared to mechanical methods that do not rely on radiation. (Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the method described above, since the representative components for each category and the component values of individual steel sheets differ slightly, The problem was that it was impossible to perform accurate plate thickness correction. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for measuring the thickness of a steel plate that allows complete correction for all steel plates. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the method for measuring the thickness of a steel plate of the present invention includes calculating the thickness of a steel plate by calculation in a method of measuring the thickness of a steel plate using radiation. At this time, the density and mass absorption coefficient of the steel plate are calculated using a preset calculation formula based on the analysis results of the individual steel component composition of the steel plate to be measured, and the thickness of the steel plate is measured using the calculation results. This is a summary. (Function) The present invention uses the method described above, based on the analysis results of the individual steel composition of the steel plate to be measured, to
By determining the density and mass absorption coefficient of a steel plate, it is possible to measure the thickness of steel plates with slightly different component values. (Example) The present invention will be described below based on an example shown in the accompanying drawings. First, in FIG. 1, 1 is a steel plate to be measured, and a radiation source 2 such as X-rays or γ-rays is used at an appropriate position during the rolling process to detect the plate thickness t.
A radiation dose detector 4 that receives radiation 3 emitted from this radiation source 2 is provided. The radiation dose detector 4 is configured to detect the detected radiation amount I 0 without the plate when the steel plate 1 is not present, and the detected radiation amount It with the plate when the steel plate 1 is present.
Therefore, both of these detected amounts I 0 and It are inputted to the radiation thickness meter 5 as I 0 and It in the above-mentioned equation (1),
The thickness t of the steel plate 1 is output by calculating the equation (1). On the other hand, the radiation thickness gauge 5 of the plate thickness t of the steel plate 1
Prior to the calculation, the composition of the steel components of the steel plate 1 is analyzed in advance by the steel component analysis means 6, and this analyzed value is stored in a computer 7 such as a host computer. Further, a means for determining the mass absorption coefficient μm that changes depending on the steel composition according to the analysis and the steel plate density ρ,
Specifically, equations (2) and (3), which will be described later, are set in the correction calculation section 9 of the radiation thickness meter 5, which is located upstream of the plate thickness calculation section 8 in which the equation (1) is set. Here, equations (2) and (3) for determining the mass absorption coefficient μm and the steel plate density ρ from the above-mentioned analytical values of the steel plate 1 will be explained. First, the mass absorption coefficient μm is: μm= i 〓μm i A i /100 …(2) where μm: Mass absorption coefficient of the steel plate to be measured μm i : Mass absorption coefficient of steel component constituent element i A i : Steel component It can be expressed as the constituent percentage (%) of the constituent element i, and the steel plate density ρ is ρ=ρ s /1+ i 〓a i・A i …(3) where ρ is the density of the steel plate to be measured ρ s : Density of pure iron (≒7.86g/cm 3 ) a i : Coefficient attached to A i , determined theoretically or empirically. It can be expressed as These equations (2) and (3) are set in the radiation thickness gauge 5 and are calculated prior to the calculation of equation (1). Next, regarding the measurement of the plate thickness t of the steel plate 1 mentioned above,
This will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG. First, rolling of the steel plate is started in a step, and the amount of radiation transmitted is detected in the step to measure the thickness t of the steel plate, and the detected amount of radiation without the plate I 0 and the detected amount of radiation with the plate It are output. . On the other hand, prior to this, the steel composition of the steel sheet to be measured is analyzed in a step, and the analyzed values are stored in a computer in a step. Then, prior to the detection in the step, the mass absorption coefficient μm and density ρ of the steel plate to be measured are calculated in accordance with equations (2) and (3) based on the analysis values stored in the step. . Then, in the step, based on the detected amount of radiation without the plate I 0 and the detected amount of radiation with the plate It in the step, and the mass absorption coefficient μm and density ρ of the calculation results in the step, (1)
The thickness t of the steel plate to be measured is measured using the formula. Next, an example in which specific numerical values were set and measured in the embodiment described above will be described. Here, as the target steel plate 1, in addition to iron Fe,

Both measurement results based on the above numerical values are: (a) Measurement results based on actual analytical values (Fe: 97.50, C: 0.80, Si: 1.20, Mn: 0.50) [Unit: weight%] μm = 0.372 × 97.50 / 100 + 0.151 ×0.80/100+0.182×1

It becomes .58mm. (b) Measurement results based on categorization nominal values (Fe: 98.40, C: 0.70, Si: 0.30, Mn: 0.60) [Unit: Weight%] μm=0.372×98.40/100+0.151×0.70/100+0.182×0

9 mm or more, as is clear from the results shown in (a) and (b), the plate thickness t according to the actual analysis value using the method of the present invention is 5.58 mm, whereas the nominal value for categorization using the conventional method The plate thickness t in this case is 5.49 mm, which means that the plate thickness was measured to be 0.09 mm (=90 μm) thinner.
