Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized handle assembly designed for molten metal sampling spoons used in foundries and metal production facilities. This component consists of a heat-resistant grip section, connecting mechanism to the spoon bowl, and structural elements that allow operators to safely collect liquid metal samples at high temperatures (typically 600-1600°C). The assembly provides both mechanical support and thermal protection during sampling procedures.
Working Principle
The handle assembly operates on principles of thermal insulation and mechanical leverage. It transfers manual force from the operator to the sampling spoon while minimizing heat conduction through layered insulation materials. The design incorporates thermal breaks and heat-resistant materials to maintain safe handling temperatures at the grip interface.
Materials
Heat-resistant steel (AISI 310 or equivalent), ceramic fiber insulation, phenolic resin grip, stainless steel fasteners (A2/A4 grade)
Technical Parameters
  • Length 300-500 mm
  • Weight 0.8-1.5 kg
  • Grip Diameter 25-35 mm
  • Connection Type Threaded or quick-release coupling
  • Insulation Thickness 15-25 mm
  • Max Operating Temperature 1600°C
Standards
ISO 13579-1, DIN 17006, ASTM A297

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature range can this handle assembly withstand?

The handle assembly is designed to withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 1600°C, with peak tolerance up to 1800°C for short durations.

How often should the handle assembly be inspected?

Daily visual inspection for cracks or damage, with comprehensive thermal testing recommended every 500 operating cycles or quarterly, whichever comes first.

Is the handle assembly interchangeable between different spoon sizes?

Most handle assemblies use standardized connections compatible with spoon bowls from 50-200 mm diameter, but specific adapters may be required for non-standard sizes.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
