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.
Abstract:
A method is provided for calibrating measurement signals obtained with optical fibers, wherein a reference material having a known reference temperature is arranged at one end of an optical fiber, the reference material is heated up to at least its reference temperature, the signal received by the fiber when the reference temperature is reached is supplied as a calibration signal to a measurement device and is compared there with the theoretical value for the reference temperature, and the difference is used for calibration. In addition, a corresponding device is provided for using the above method for calibration or determination of the attenuation of an optical fiber.

Abstract:
A device for conducting electrochemical measurements in glass or salt melts has at least one indicator electrode and one reference electrode arrangement. In order to be able to conduct very exact measurements, the tip of the indicator electrode intended to be immersed in the melt is constructed of a noble metal or noble metal alloy with at least one another noble metal, preferably iridium or an iridium alloy with other noble metals, and is mounted gas-tight in a heat-resistant tube. The indicator electrode is passed through the heat-resistant tube.
