Steel & Continuous Casting
CCM Production Capacity / TPH Calculator
Calculate theoretical continuous-caster throughput and reverse-calculate casting speed for a target TPH.
This tool provides a preliminary engineering calculation for reference. Final equipment selection, design and commissioning decisions must consider manufacturer data, applicable standards, operating conditions and project-specific engineering requirements. It is not certified design output.

Formula
TPH = A × v × ρ × 60 × N / 1000
vtarget = TPHtarget × 1000/(Aρ60N)
Worked example
130 × 130 mm, 3.0 m/min, two strands, density 7850 kg/m³.
Expected check: Total theoretical TPH = 47.76.
Assumptions
- • Constant section, density, speed and operating strand count
Limitations
- • Theoretical output is not final plant production
- • Sequence delays, grade changes, tundish/ladle constraints, maintenance and yield losses require a production model
Frequently asked questions
Can this result be used for final equipment selection?
No. Use it for a preliminary check, then verify manufacturer data, site conditions, applicable standards and the complete system design.
What does formula version 1.0.0 mean?
It identifies the exact calculation logic used so a saved result can be traced when the formula register changes.
Can Elexorn review my calculation?
Yes. Transfer the result to Request a Quote or Talk to an Elexorn Engineer and add the relevant project or equipment details.
