A vessel which, when in use, is subject to thermal stress, and which includes a device for introduction of gas through the wall of the vessel, the device comprising a metal sleeve fastened to the outer face of the wall of the vessel in an adjustable and easily exchangeable manner by a combination of screws and spring washers, and a gas-permeable body of fire-resistant material which is mounted adjustably and exchangeably in the metal sleeve under spring pressure. Either a major portion of the gas-permeable body is formed as a frustum of a cone, which has a short cylindrical portion on its end of larger cross section, or the gas-permeable body consists of two cylindrical portions of different cross section. The spring pressure is exerted by at least one dished spring column consisting of a series of pairs of oppositely oriented dished spring washers.
