Bottom fill sampling apparatus

摘要

The specification and drawings disclose an apparatus for taking samples of molten metal. The preferred embodiment comprises a housing enclosing a body defining a material flow path and a sample chamber. The material flow path and chamber are configured such that when the device is oriented in its position of use the material flowing into the flow path enters the housing and body from a position on a plane at about the top of said mold chamber, courses through the flow path to a position below said chamber and enters said chamber from said lower area. The body further comprises a conduit extending upwardly from said chamber and exiting the body at its top into a slag and shrink chamber.
