For the near‐net‐shape casting of thin steel strips a liquid steel feeding system is developed. This article at first describes the development of a water model for the complete casting machine (cold tests). In this model the control concept for the low‐pressure tundish is designed and tested. As a subsequent stage to the water model trials, the functional ability of the casting machine concepts, and particularly to the tundish concepts, is verified in separately conducted tundish tests and also in strip casting trials (hot tests).
