Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for keeping an opening of deposits through a wall of a metallurgical vessel, such as a probe opening of a steelworks converter, for inserting a measuring and / or sampling probe, in which the measuring and / or measuring probe is inserted into the opening when not in use, in particular when not in use. or sampling probe, a stopper is used, and a device for performing the method.
- a metallurgical vessel such as a probe opening of a steelworks converter
- the refractory lining of a steelworks converter generally consists of magnesite stones, so that the probe opening penetrating the wall of the converter has an inner wall formed by these magnesite stones. It has been shown in practice that probe openings of this type always overgrow, since slag deposits form which form particularly stable connections with the magnesite stones. The probe opening was drilled out to remove these deposits, which often caused damage to the lining of the metallurgical vessel and was also very time-consuming. However, since measurements are to be carried out as quickly as possible in order to immediately, i.e., the process taking place in the metallurgical vessel. To be able to influence it in a timely and targeted manner is a particularly disadvantageous cleaning of the probe opening that is difficult to carry out before the measurement or sampling is carried out.
- a metallurgical vessel which is equipped with a probe opening for inserting a measuring and / or sampling probe, which probe opening can be closed with a stopper, is known from DE-C - 39 34 340.
