A tap-hole closing arrangement comprises a closure body which is insertable into the tap hole on leaving free an annular gap relative to the tap hole wall and includes a compressed-gas conduit and an outer jacket that tapers towards the mouth of the compressed-gas conduit. For applying this arrangement to big converters and improving its slag-retention effect, the outer jacket is formed by a spherical-calotte-shaped face passing over into a frustroconical face, the height of the truncated cone being at least 1 time and at most 2.5 times the diameter of the mouth-side outlet opening of the compressed-gas conduit, and the aperture angle of the truncated cone amounting to at least 15 DEG and at most 70 DEG .
