Abstract
A method for the handling of melt samples in a steelworks laboratory may involve processing and/or analyzing a melt sample in at least one first treatment apparatus and subsequently transporting the melt sample via at least one first transport path to at least one second treatment apparatus where the melt sample is subjected to further processing and/or analysis. As part of the transporting step, the method may involve clamping the melt sample on a sample carrier so that the sample carrier is transported together with the clamped-in melt sample between the treatment apparatuses and is positioned in the treatment apparatuses for processing and/or analysis.

A method for handling melt samples in a steelworks laboratory, the method comprising:
- processing and/or analyzing a melt sample in a first treatment apparatus;
- and
- transporting the melt sample after the processing and/or analyzing via a first transport path to a second treatment apparatus where the melt sample is further processed and/or analyzed, wherein the melt sample is clamped on a sample carrier and transported with the sample carrier between the first and second treatment apparatuses and is positionable in the first and second treatment apparatuses for the respective processing and/or analyzing.
A steelworks laboratory for handling melt samples, the steelworks laboratory comprising:
- a first treatment apparatus and a second treatment apparatus for processing and/or analyzing melt samples;
- a transport apparatus for transporting the melt samples between the treatment apparatuses;
- a sample carrier that includes a first clamping device for clamping in the melt sample, wherein the sample carrier together with a clamped-in melt sample of the melt samples are transportable on the transport apparatus;
- and
- a transfer unit for transferring the sample carrier together with the clamped-in melt sample into at least one of the first and second treatment apparatuses, the transfer unit being disposed in a region of the first and second treatment apparatuses.
