The blast-furnace shop at the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine has conducted an experiment involving the sampling of conversion pig iron with SA-E samplers made by the company Heraeus Electro-Nite. The new samplers ensure the acquisition of uniform and representative samples. The experiment established the optimum location for sampling the pig iron and the depth to which the sampler should be submerged in the iron. The improvement made in the sampling of pig iron makes the information obtained on the composition of the iron more reliable and reduces the amount of time needed to obtain the sample and prepare it for analysis.
