The invention provides a method and a device for testing heat exchange coefficients of
steel plates with different water film thicknesses. A cylindrical water film
cofferdam is welded on the surface of a cylindrical steel plate, the height h of a
cofferdam is equal to the tested thickness of the water film; three temperature measuring points are set in a direction perpendicular to cylindrical steel plate at a
distance interval x, holes are drilled on the side face of the cylindrical steel plate at positions which are x / 2, x3 / 2 and x5 / away from the upper end face of the cylindrical steel plate, thermocouples are then placed in the holes, and the cold ends of the thermocouples are connected to a multi-
channel data acquisition device; during experiment, a steel sample is placed in a
heating furnace, then the
data acquisition device is started to acquire the temperature; when the steel plate reaches an initial
cooling temperature, the steel sample is taken out and placed in a heat-insulation tank which is placed under a
spray nozzle, later the
spray nozzle is opened to spray water onto the water film
cofferdam and thus, and a water film is covered on the surface of the steel plate; and when the steel plate reaches a final
cooling temperature, the temperature acquisition is stopped, and thus, the steel plate
cooling curve T (t) based on different positions at the upper end face of the cylindrical steel plate is obtained. Therefore, the method and the device can test the heat
exchange coefficient of the surface of the
steel plates under a condition of different thicknesses of water films.
