Abstract

PURPOSE:To shield the surface of a molten metal from the outside air in the area of contact with a main body of a dipping pipe and prevent the formation of a molten metallic oxide, by attaching a flange to the main body of the dipping pipe at a position above the molten- metal surface, and providing an outer pipe which is supported by the flange and the lower end of which is to be dipped in the molten metal. CONSTITUTION:A flange 2 is attached to a main body 1 of a dipping pipe made of a non-oxide ceramic at a position above the surface Y1 of a molten metal, and a flange 3a of a cylindrical outer pipe 3 is placed on the flange 2 to support the pipe 3. The attaching position of the flange 2 and the length of the outer pipe 3 are so designed that the lower end of the pipe 3 is dipped in the molten metal Y even when the molten-metal surface Y1 is lowered to the broken-line position during a furnace operation. The main body 1 of the dipping pipe, the flange 2, the outer pipe 3 and the molten-metal surface Y1 define a hermetically sealed space S, so that the molten-metal surface Y1 in the area of contact with the main body 1 is shielded from the outside air, and the formation of an oxide is prevented. The flange 2 is split into halves, which are attached to the main body 1 at predetermined positions, and are fixed by winding a fixing band 4. The outer pipe 3, also bisected, is fastened by winding a band 5, and is supported by placing the flange part 3a on the flange 2.
