  • Device for the detection of a level of molten metals
    Patent number: 5695713
    Abstract: A device for the detection of a level of molten metal in a molten vessel, especially a dosing furnace, is proposed in which a sensor made of electrically conductive material and which emits a signal on contact with the molten metal, is inserted, electrically insulated, into the casing of the vessel of the riser pipe provided in the vessel and terminates substantially flush with the surface of the casing. In the casing there is thus a contact surface, the adhesion of metal and metal oxide to which is substantially excluded.
