MEASURING PROBE FOR COMPONENT OF MOLTEN METAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring probe, for the component of a molten metal, which can obtain a stable molten-metal surface in order to measure the component of the molten metal irrespective of a molten-metal bulk condition. SOLUTION: In the measuring probe 1 for the component of the molten metal L, the molten metal L is sampled in order to measure the component of the molten metal L. The measuring probe 1 is provided with a probe body 2 which has a bottomed cylindrical shape and whose lower-part side face comprises molten-metal sampling holes 3 used to sample the molten metal L and a measuring-face formation means by which a gas at a pressure higher than an ambient pressure is introduced into the probe body 2 from the upper part and by which the gas is discharged from the probe body 2 so as to form a molten-metal measuring face S inside the probe body 2 when the probe body 2 is immersed inside the molten metal L.
