A sampler (1, 1a) of the present includes a sample chamber (2) for a sample (3) formed of a molten material, at least one lower cooling body (6), at least one upper cooling body (8), at least one inner cooling body (7), and at least one filling part, wherein the sample chamber (2) is jointly surrounded by at least the lower cooling body (6) and the inner cooling body (7), such that at least the sample chamber (2) can be cooled by at least the lower and inner cooling bodies (6, 7), and the filling part connected to the sample chamber (2) is merged into the sample chamber (2) by a filling opening (5a), in which each of the cooling bodies (6, 7, 8) includes an outer surface (7a, 8a). According to the present invention, the sampler (1, 1a) includes, between a region of an outer surface (7a) of the inner cooling body (7) and a region of an outer surface (8a) of the upper cooling body (8) opposite to the outer surface (7a) of the inner cooling body (7), at least one gap (11) for guiding at least one gas, a volume of the respective cooling bodies (6, 7, 8) being larger than a volume of the gap (11). In addition, the present invention relates to a sampling method, an apparatus for executing a sampling process, and a sample holder (21a, 21b, 21c) of various embodiment shapes. |
