Abstract

The invention relates to a plug made of refractory material for a metallurgical casting vessel. The plug 5, which can be formed with a central axial channel 5b, has an axial channel 5d which terminates eccentrically in front of the plug cap 5a and which is disposed in an axially extending rib 5c formed on the plug 5. A thermocouple 6 with its measuring cables is accommodated in said further axial channel 5d.
