Summary:A nozzle (1) for the introduction of liquid metal into a continuous casting mold, of the type comprising a first tubular part (2) of which one end is connected to a vessel enclosing the liquid metal and the other end emerges into a second hollow part (4) of elongated shape of which at least one portion of the inner space (3) is oriented essentially perpendicular to the tubular part (2). The hollow part (4) incorporates a hole (5, 6) at each of its ends, as well as one or several outlet holes (7 - 17) cut in its bottom (18) and/or lateral walls, a perforated regulator (23 - 34) being arranged in the inner space (3) in such a manner that the liquid metal must pass through the perforations before traversing through the outlet holes (7 - 17). The perforated regulator (19, 38, 39, 41, 43) incorporates, on at least a portion of the width of its upper face, a raised part (20, 37, 42, 44) comprising a top situated on the longitudinal horizontal axis of the hollow part (4), the perforations (23 - 34) being distributed on either side of this top.
