Abstract
In this invention, the liquid metal passage is branched into a high temperature passage and a low temperature passage cooled by cooling means, and in a coupling passage connecting these high temperature and low temperature passages, high temperature liquid metal and low temperature liquid metal are flown in the state facing each other and they are thus mixed in this coupling passage. In this manner, the flow variation owing to deposition of the oxide in the cooled passage is detected, and the saturation temperature of an oxide is determined from the temperature at which the flow variation occurs.
