Abstract
A sampler for molten metal has a carrier body, in which a sample chamber and a prechamber, connected to the latter in a sealed manner via an inflow opening, are arranged one behind the other along the axis of the carrier body, the prechamber having an inlet duct passing through the carrier body. In order to provide a sampler that can be assembled easily and reliably, even with larger manufacturing tolerances, and that allows easy removal of the sample after sampling, the sample chamber is held axially against the prechamber by means of a spring element.
Claims15
An immersion sampler useful for sampling molten metal comprising a hollow carrier body (1) having a longitudinal axis and an immersion end, a sample chamber (6) and a prechamber (10) arranged in the carrier body one behind the other along the axis of the carrier body, a molten metal inflow opening (7) connecting the sample chamber and prechamber in a sealed manner, the prechamber having an inlet duct passing through a wall of the carrier body, and a spring element (5) which holds the sample chamber (6) axially against the prechamber (10).
