●Cupola is best suited for melting
ferrous metals.
●Cupola furnace is employed for melting scrap metal or pig iron for production of various cast irons. It is also used for production of nodular and malleable cast iron. It is available in goodvarying sizes. The main considerations in selection of cupolas are melting capacity, diameter of shell without lining or with lining, spark arrester.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
&Key Points:-
●Cupola is used to produce cast iron (a ferrous metal).
●Pig iron is supplied to furnace, pig iron is produced in blast furnace.
