Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
IN A METHOD OF DETERMINING THE METAL OXIDE CONTENT OF A HOT FLOWING LIQUID METAL IN WHICH THE OXIDE CONTENT IS PRECIPITABLE AS PARTICULATE MATTER BY COOLING THE LIQUID METAL, THE STEPS OF PASSING THE LIQUID METAL THROUGH A FILTER, PROGRESSIVELY COOLING THE LIQUID METAL TO CAUSE DEPOSITION OF METAL OXIDE PARTICLES ON THE FILTER AS THE LIQUID METAL, THE STEPS OF PASSING THE LIQUID METAL THROUGH PERATURE OF THE LIQUID METAL TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT DEPOSIT OF METAL OXIDE PARTICLES ON THE FILTER WHILE STILL PERMITTING FLOW OF SAID LIQUID METAL THROUGH THE SAID FILTER, AND MEASURING THE ADJUSTED TEMPERATURE.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
