Abstract
A sampling device for use when performing a thermal analysis of a sample of molten metal solidifying from a melt, includes a double-walled container having an upwardly opening mouth and a part-spherically curved bottom, A closed space between the walls is thermally insulated. A tubular holder is supported to extend from the mouth substantially to the bottom of the container, for receiving a temperature sensor. By preference at least one wall of the container is treated or coated to reduce thermal emissivity.
