Abstract:
A pressure probe for an arc furnace having a roof provided with an access opening. The probe is located above the opening and includes side and end walls defining a bottom periphery for sealing the opening and an upper periphery which is sealed by a removable cover. The open cover and side walls are releasably secured in surrounding relation to the furnace roof by cross bars and threaded tie rods. A plurality of holes are formed in each of the side walls and each hole is adapted to be coupled to a conduit for communicating a pressure measuring device to the openings. A baffle is fixed to each side wall and is disposed between the opening and the holes to shield the holes from any direct line of sight from within the furnace but does not prevent pressure communication between the furnace interior and the holes.
