It is important to well-design the shape of lance nozzle to suppress the spitting phenomena in top blown process such as a converter. Normal lance in which axes of lance and nozzles intersect one another has been used in spite of its limitations conventionally. In the present work, 6 nozzle lances with twisted nozzles in which axes of lance and nozzles have no points in common were newly designed and the effects on the spitting behavior and the characteristics of jets were investigated by cold model experiments. Nozzle twisted lance showed a lower spitting rate at the optimum twist angles of 11.4 degrees which was lower than that of normal lance. Jet behaviors were also different from those of the normal lances and changed according to the twist angle. Suppression effect of nozzle twisted lance on the spitting rate could be partially explained by, an increase of the shift of the jet pressure from the lance axis.
