Tin ladle
Maintenance and replacement:
- Check for Wear and Corrosion: Regularly inspect the tin ladle for any signs of wear, deformation, or corrosion. Since the ladle operates at high temperatures and holds molten tin, it can degrade over time.
- Inspect for Cracks or Damage: Cracks or damage can lead to leaks or improper combustion, which may affect gas release and lead to inaccurate results.
- Surface Condition: Check if the surface of the ladle is smooth and clean. A rough or contaminated surface can lead to sticking of the tin or inconsistent sample analysis.
- Remove Residual Tin: After each analysis cycle, clean the ladle to remove any residual tin or debris. Use a soft, non-abrasive tool to scrape off the remaining tin carefully.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the ladle, as these can degrade the material and affect its performance.
- Wear Gloves: Always handle the tin ladle with clean, protective gloves to avoid contamination from oils or residues on your hands.
- Avoid Dropping: Tin ladles can be fragile, especially after repeated use at high temperatures, so handle them carefully to prevent cracks or deformation.
- Visual Signs: Replace the tin ladle when there are visible signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion.
