ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an improved method of measuring oxygen concentration in molten metal using the galvanic oxygen concentration cell method. It consists of providing a layer of inert gas between the cell electrolyte and the melt, this prevents contamination of the electrolyte while at the same time allows it to be in thermal and chemical equilibrium with the melt, resulting in continuous measurements of oxygen activity from which oxygen concentration may be calculated. Novel probes are disclosed which include a solid electrolyte oxygen concentration cell, a cavity for containing the inert gas adjacent the cell electrolyte to prevent contact between it and the molten metal and a thermocouple for temperature measurements.
