Abstract: Sampling rod for corrosive gases or fumes in an incinerator, particularly when installed on a ship.It comprises in a coaxial construction a central tube for the suction of gases made from a plastic material resistant to the corrosion by these high temperature gases, a first metallic tube forming a reinforcement for the central tube and enveloping the latter, a second metallic tube surrounding the first tube and defining with the latter an annular space traversed by a liquid fluid for the cooling of the gases circulating in the central tube and for maintaining said gases at an appropriate temperature, a layer of a thermally insulating material having a fibrous structure surrounding the second metallic tube and an outer jacket made from a refractory material which resists the mechanical and thermal shocks and ensures the distribution of the external heat in the insulating material.
