Sampling Spoon

Product Introduction

The KD-QY sampling spoon is made of high-quality and high-temperature resistant fibers, and is specially used to remove metal melt in the furnace or bag to analyze the quality of the metal melt. The product does not affect the composition of the metal melt, it is extremely cold and hot, does not crack, and can be used repeatedly.

The Sampling Spoon is a vital tool used in foundries and steel plants to manually extract molten metal samples from furnaces, ladles, or tundishes. It allows operators to obtain representative samples for chemical composition and thermal analysis. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive environments, the Sampling Spoon is essential for metallurgical quality control during casting and refining processes.
