Abstract: A method is disclosed for measuring the atmosphere within an enclosure. A sensor well is provided comprising a drilling head and a drill point such that the sensor well may be directly inserted into the enclosure using a drill. A sensor may be provided in the sensor well before or after the sensor well is inserted into the enclosure. Once the sensor well is inserted into the enclosure using the drill, and a sensor is provided within the bore of the sensor well, the sensor may be connected to a measuring device such that the atmosphere within the enclosure may be measured.

Abstract: A sensor well mechanism is disclosed for that may be directed inserted into an enclosure where a measurement of the atmosphere within the enclosure is desired. The sensor well is provided with a drilling head and a drill point allowing the sensor well to be directly inserted into an enclosure using a tool. The sensor well is provided with a bore and slots such that a sensor may be provided within the bore of the sensor well and may be exposed to the atmosphere of an enclosure after the sensor well is inserted into the enclosure.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to spray the interior surface of a refractory lined vessel that receives molten metal where the interior refractory surface of the vessel is most prone to erode. Supply pipes are introduced into the vessel and are pivotally supported on an upper portion of the vessel to pivot about angularly related axis, such as horizontal and vertical axis. Said pipes are pivoted around at least one of said axis while water is propelled through said elongated pipe to a corroded portion of said interior surface to remove scale from and clean said corroded surface. Air entrained granulated refractory material, preferably mixed with water to form a slurry, is propelled through said pipe to coat the clean interior surface. A movable end portion is hingedly connected to said elongated pipe to provide for the angular control of said movable end portion.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to spray the interior surface of a refractory body, such as a blast furnace having circumferentially spaced windows above its mantle, each facing a different wall portion where the interior surface of the shell is most prone to corrode. Two window operations can be employed simultaneously to introduce supply pipes pivotally supported for pivoting about angularly related axes, such as horizontal and vertical axes, and pivoted about at least one of said axes while water is propelled through said elongated pipe to a corroded portion of said interior surface to remove scale from and clean said corroded surface. Air entrained granulated refractory material, preferably mixed with water to form a slurry, is propelled through said pipe to coat the clean interior surface. The two process operation is repeated for each window to clean and reline the entire perimeter of the wall portion if required.
