  • Patent number: 9366578
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for melted materials includes an upper part and a detachable lower part. A tube extends coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the lower part, is closed on its end facing away from the upper part, and is open on the other end. The tube is arranged on an immersion end of the lower part facing away from the upper part. A guide tube, extending coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the upper part and being open on both ends, is arranged in a guide sleeve. A pressure acting in the direction of the lower part is applied to the guide tube by an elastic body and the guide tube touches against the lower part. One opening of the guide tube and the open end of the tube of the lower part are arranged adjacent to each other and coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the lower part.

    Inventors: Jan Cuypers, Valère Indeherberge
  • Patent number: 8768113
    Abstract: A measuring device is provided for measurement of parameters, in particular for measuring the temperature, in molten masses, in particular in molten metal or molten cryolite masses having a melting point above 500° C. The measuring device has an optical fiber for receiving radiation from the molten mass and a cable reel having an external circumference for winding up the optical fiber and an internal space surrounded by the external circumference. A distributor and a mode filter for the optical fiber are arranged in the internal space.
