Description
The Honeywell HERMetic Sampler GTN Chem is dedicated to applications where closed sampling is required, and when the sampled liquid should avoid any contact with the atmosphere in order to maintain its specifications and to avoid contamination.
What Is It?
The HERMetic Sampler GTN Chem is a portable gas tight sampler with liquid transfer under completely closed conditions into a septum-sealed laboratory bottle. This transfer guarantees the integrity of the sample since the liquid never comes into contact with the atmosphere. A closed vapor recovery system dispatches the vapours back into the tank during transfer of the liquid into the sealed laboratory bottle.
The sampler is ideal in the following cases:
- If a representative sample of the content is required
- For clean chemicals or refined products
- If the sample has to avoid any contact with the atmosphere to maintain its specifications
- If no gas release is permitted during sampling operation
- For connection on 2-inch HERMetic compact valves exclusively
The gas tight construction of the sampler avoids pressure release from the tank and exposure to fumes during operation. The equipment is designed and certified for use in potentially explosive areas. It can be fitted with a specific sampling bottle, allowing zone, spot, running or bottom sampling.
How Does It Work?
HERMetic Sampler GTN Chem allows easy installation on 2-inch vapor control valves with quick connect coupling. The sampling height can be read on the graduated tape and the liquid can be transferred into a septum-sealed laboratory bottle after sampling. It carries the KEMA 06ATEX0027 (II 1 G c IIB T6) Construction Safety Approval and complies with the European Union’s Directive 94/9 EC. In addition, the sampler has been approved by all major classification societies. The unit complies with a host of regulations, including API (MPMS Chap 17.11).
Technical specifications include:
- Maximal Tank Overpressure: 0,3 bar, 4,4 psi
- Tape Length: 30m, 100ft
- Capacity of Sampling Bottles: ~0,5 l
What Problems Does It Solve?
The HERMetic Sampler GTN Chem ensures safety by preventing exposure to potential fire, health and air pollution hazards. Additionally, it ensures that the sample taken is never altered or contaminated due to contact with the atmosphere. Users benefit from lower operation and maintenance costs.
