Abstract
Molten metal sampling apparatus includes two or more paperboard sleeves held together in side by side relationship by glue, fasteners and a refractory cement joint with one of the sleeves being connectible by a friction-fit to a handle inserted in one of the sleeves and the other of the sleeves containing a sample mold. The handle is a paperboard tube which carries a thermocouple for measuring bath temperature. Additional sleeves can be added to carry sample molds of a different configuration. The sampling apparatus is adaptable for handling a wide range of sample molds and is inexpensive and relatively compact and enables taking of a sample and a bath temperature simultaneously.
