Abstract: A smelting apparatus includes a vessel and a solids injection lance extending through an opening in the wall of a vessel barrel into the interior space of the vessel. The lance includes a central core tube through which to pass solid particulate material into the vessel and an annular cooling jacket surrounding the central core tube throughout a substantial part of its length. The lance has a mounting structure including a tubular part extended about the cooling jacket and about twice the diameter of the cooling jacket. The tubular part fits within a tubular lance mounting bracket welded to the shell of the vessel barrel to extend outwardly from the vessel. The lance is held within the mounting bracket by clamping bolts acting between flanges on the tubular part and the tubular bracket.

Abstract: A gravity gradiometer is disclosed which has a sensor in the form of bars (41 and 42) which are supported on a mounting (5) which has a first mount section (10) and a second mount section (20). A first flexure web (33) pivotally couples the first and second mount sections about a first axis. The second mount has a first part (25), a second part (26) and a third part (27). The parts (25 and 26) are connected by a second flexure web (37) and the parts (26 and 27) are connected by a third flexure web (35). The bars (41 and 42) are located in housings (45 and 47) and form a monolithic structure with the housings (45 and 47) respectively. The housings (45 and 47) are connected to opposite sides of the second mount section 20. The bars (41 and 42) are connected to their respective housings by flexure webs (59). Transducers (71) are located in proximity to the bars for detecting movement of the bars to in turn enable the gravitational gradient tensor to be measured. The first mount section (10) has cut-outs (16) and the second mount section (20) has lugs (13) which pass through the cut-outs for connecting the first and second mount sections (10 and 20) in a Dewar (1).

Transducers (71) are located in proximity to the bars for detecting movement of the bars to in turn enable the gravitational gradient tensor to be measured. The sensor masses not only serve to provide measurements of the gravity gradient tensor but also provide signals indicative of angular movement of the mounting and therefore form one of a plurality of angular accelerometers for detecting angular movement so that control signals can be generated to stabilise the mounting (5).
