Configurable, Local, Reliable

Swagelok Bristol works alongside our customers to provide an accurate and efficient means for capturing a representative liquid, volatile liquid or gas sample. These Grab Sample Panels have been designed to acquire samples from pipelines, tanks, or directly from process and transport these samples safely to a lab for analysis.

The benefits of using a Swagelok Grab Sample Panel are...

  • Provides a simple, effective way to safely collect hazardous samples
  • Keeps samples in their representative state for analysis 
  • Can be adapted to meet system requirements

Swagelok Bristol ensures compatibility of materials to provide a safe and customisable grab sample system. 


Why Use a Grab Sampling System?

Grab sampling can validate:

  • Process conditions
  • end products meeting quality specifications
  • online analysers to ensure they are “fit for use”
  • product quality during custody transfer

It can also provide verification of environmental emissions. In all of these uses, capturing a representative sample is essential. However, placing a captured sample into an open bottle for transport back to the lab may not provide a representative sample. Some chemicals will evaporate or fractionate if not maintained under pressure. As more industries bring additional analytical equipment online, it becomes more imperative to have quality sample systems that can accurately capture the process for later analysis.

Swagelok builds and supplies components for two types of grab sample panels.

TypeOfGrabSampling

Options include;

  • Cylinder Samplers: Cylinder grab sampling systems are for use with gas, liquid and two-phase processes. 
  • Bottle Type: Bottle grab sampling systems are for use with low vapour-pressure liquids. These systems use a septa lidded bottle of specified volume to collect a sample safely for lab analysis.
