Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure a minute amount of oxygen in a molten metal in vacuum with high accuracy, by arranging a glass seal on the standard electrode in a Tammann tube composed of a solid electrolyte. CONSTITUTION:A Tammann tube 2 is constituted of a solid electrolyte such as ZrO2-CaO and a standard electrode 1 composed of an Ni-NiO powder is provided in said tube 2. A glass seal 4 is arranged on the standard electrode 1 and the Tammann tube 2 is held in vacuum so that the interface of the inner wall of the Tammann tube 2 is not affected by the open air. A lead wire 3 composed of Pt is arranged so as to be in contact with the inner wall of the Tammann tube 2 and the change in electromotive force is measured. An alumina tube 5 is connected to the upper part of the Tammann tube 2 by zirconia cement 6 to constitute a measuring device. Since the glass seal is arranged on the standard electrode, a very small amount of oxygen in a molten metal such as copper can be measured in a vacuum state with high accuracy.
