Abstract
A drop-in probe is provided for determining phase changes of a sample removed from a molten steel by thermal analysis. The probe includes a measurement head that has an immersion end and in which is arranged a sample chamber having an inlet opening and a thermocouple projecting with its hot solder joint into the sample chamber and having a cable bushing for signal cables of the thermocouple. The cable bushing emerges from the measurement head out of a discharge opening on an end of the measurement head opposite the immersion end. A straight line between the immersion end and the discharge opening forms a longitudinal axis of the measurement head, and a theoretical plane through the hot solder joint and through a part of the inlet opening farthest away from the immersion end is formed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The probe is characterized by either a) the measurement head has a density of at least 7 g/cmbetween the immersion end and the plane farthest away from the immersion end or b) the measurement head has a density of at least 7 g/cmbetween the immersion end and an auxiliary plane formed at a distance of at least 10 mm and parallel to the plane farthest away from the immersion end.
