Abstract: An immersion probe with a variable connection length is configured to compensate for longitudinal and/or radial length variations in an immersion sublance connected to the immersion probe. The immersion probe is characterized by an adjustable portion that changes length upon engagement with a coupling end of an immersion sublance. The immersion probe can have a sensor head. An immersion assembly of the immersion probe connected to an immersion sublance can be used to take measurements or samples of molten metal in a converter furnace.

Abstract: An immersion probe for analysis of gases in molten metal is provided. The immersion probe generally comprises a gas sampler, a gas injection tube and a porous ceramic filter. The porous ceramic filter has a groove that associates it to the gas sampler, the groove comprising an outer portion and an inner portion with respect to the gas sampler, the inner portion of the porous ceramic filter having an increase in body for better association of the porous ceramic filter to the gas sampler. An adhesive material provides mechanical support of the porous ceramic filter, the adhesive material being located in both the inner portion and the outer portion of the gas sampler.
