SAMPLE HANDLING SYSTEMS

The sample handling system (SHS) recovers samples from bottles by piercing septum’s with needles and using nitrogen to purge the bottle contents through the recovery connection. It allows closed recovery without spillage. The sample emptying system (SRC) analyzes and empties samples from cylinders. It uses quick-connect fittings and needle valves along with nitrogen to transfer the sample from the cylinder for analysis while emptying the cylinder in a closed system without spillage. Both systems operate by turning a single handle to select between recovery/analysis, venting, or off positions.
