A sampler has a sample chamber for a sample forming from a molten material, at least one lower cooling body, at least one upper cooling body, at least one inner cooling body, and at least one filling part. The sample chamber is surrounded jointly at least by the lower cooling body and the inner cooling body, such that at least the sample chamber can be cooled by at least the lower and inner cooling bodies. The filling part merges into the sample chamber by a filling opening. Between a region of the outer surface of the inner cooling body and a region of the outer surface of the upper cooling body opposite the outer surface of the inner cooling body, the sampler has at least one gap for conducting at least one gas. The volume of the respective cooling bodies is larger than the volume of the gap.

Sampler and sampling method for molten material

An apparatus is provided for determination of at least one interface of a slag layer on top of a molten metal. The apparatus has a carrier tube and a measuring head arranged on one end of the carrier tube with a body fixed within the carrier tube and an end face facing away from the carrier tube. The apparatus further includes an oscillator arranged within the measuring head and an induction coil connected with the oscillator and arranged outside of the body and in front of its end face.

Apparatus for determination of an interface of a slag layer

An immersion probe has a probe body having a longitudinal axis and an outer surface surrounding the longitudinal axis, wherein a portion of the outer surface has sampling elements, which extend around the longitudinal axis in the peripheral direction and which have a radial dimension. A protective layer, which can be dissolved or combusted in molten steel or slag, is arranged around the sampling elements.

Immersion probe

A sampler is provided for melts, in particular for slags lying on a molten metal, the sampler having a single- or multi-part body for arrangement in a support. The sampler has an inlet and a sample chamber with two opposing chamber walls, wherein an inlet opening is arranged in one chamber wall. In order to make possible homogeneous and stable samples, an intermediate plate with at least one through opening is arranged inside of the sample chamber spaced from the chamber walls.

Sampler for melts, in particular for slags lying on a molten metal

A sampler is provided for melts, especially for slag lying on top of molten metals, having a one piece or multi-piece body arranged on a carrier. The body of the sampler has an intake and a sample chamber, wherein the intake has a surface which is at least partially formed by a slag-repellant material.

Sampler for melts

The invention relates to a sensor for the measurement of gas concentrations in a gas mixture, comprising a ceramic sensor tube that is closed at one end, arranged in a casing, and exhibits an outer surface which consists at least partially of a solid electrolyte material, and with at least one sensor contact and at least one heating contact with an active heating surface arranged along its exterior. To provide a gas sensor with a short response time that continues to operate precisely and with long-term stability in hot exhaust gases, sensor contacts are screen-printed onto the sensor tube, where at least the active heating surface is arranged in rotational symmetry around the perimeter of the sensor tube and where the heating contact is arranged on an electrically insulating layer applied to the solid electrolyte material in such a way that it does not cover the sensor contact, of which there is at least one.
