Abstract
An immersion probe has a probe body having a longitudinal axis and an outer surface surrounding the longitudinal axis, wherein a portion of the outer surface has sampling elements, which extend around the longitudinal axis in the peripheral direction and which have a radial dimension. A protective layer, which can be dissolved or combusted in molten steel or slag, is arranged around the sampling elements.

An immersion probe comprising a probe body having a longitudinal axis and an outer surface surrounding the longitudinal axis, a portion of the outer surface having sampling elements to sample slag from a molten bath, the sampling elements extending around the longitudinal axis in a peripheral direction and having a radial dimension, and a protective layer, dissolvable or combustible in the molten bath, being arranged around the sampling elements.
An immersion probe comprising a probe body having a longitudinal axis, an outer surface surrounding the longitudinal axis and an immersion end, a portion of the outer surface having sampling elements, the sampling elements extending around the longitudinal axis in a peripheral direction and having a radial dimension, wherein the sampling elements have a flat or concave surface, which faces away from the immersion end, and wherein the flat or concave surface is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis in a direction of the end of the probe body opposite the immersion end.
