Abstract
Abstract A suction pyrometer radiation shield comprising an elongated first alumina refractory tube, a series of smaller alumina refractory tubes arranged around and bonded to the inside surface of said first tube forming central passageway, an outer fracture resistant alumina refractory tube surrounding said first tube and an alumina refractory washer closely surrounding said first tube in abutting contact with said outer alumina refractory tube.
