PCT No. PCT/SE96/00077 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 25, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 25, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 25, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/23206 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 1, 1996A sampling device for use when performing a thermal analysis of a sample of molten metal solidifying from a melt, includes a double-walled container having an upwardly opening mouth and a part-spherically curved bottom, A closed space between the walls is thermally insulated. A tubular holder is supported to extend from the mouth substantially to the bottom of the container, for receiving a temperature sensor. By preference at least one wall of the container is treated or coated to reduce thermal emissivity.
