Abstract
Oxygen partial pressures in atmospheric-pressure quench furnaces were found to vary by as much as 0·5 in log fo2 when changes were made in gas flow rate and direction suggesting that careful analysis of the gas mixture supplied to a furnace is not a guarantee of the oxygen pressure that a sample in the furnace will attain. The use of magnesiowüstite compositions, with variable oxygen contents, as indicators of oxygen pressure is described.Keywords
