Title: Laser Ultrasonic Furnace Tube Coke Monitor. Quarterly technical progress report. Report no. 6 for reporting period August 1, 1999 through November 1, 1999

The test results suggest that the signal sensitivity is related to the difference between the operating temperature of the furnace tube and the melting temperature of the sacrificial stand-off. This may be due to the effect of melt viscosity on the pooling of the molten metal under the stand-off or it may be due to the rate of melting of the stand-off. Further high-temperature investigations are underway to elucidate these issues.
