Our grab sampling assemblies come in various configurations and are locally built, supported, and reliable. They are designed to safely collect representative samples of liquid or gas from your process lines. We offer options for closed-loop sampling into pressure-rated sample cylinders or collecting process fluid into glass laboratory bottles for analysis. Our sampling panel options are easy to use, maintain, and can be ordered as a single part number.
Created by Swagelok Engineers, Tailored for Your Needs.
Swagelok grab sampling systems are crafted to safeguard both your employees and your financial success, and are customized by fluid system experts to suit your requirements.Engineered For Safety
Swagelok grab sampling systems isolates the process pressure from the sample bottle and user, avoiding overfilling and overpressure situations. Our panels are also constructed with features to reduce the risk of operator mistakes, for example, a spring-return handle on the GSL sample valve that prevents unintended dispensing.
Engineered For Ease Of Use
Swagelok grab sampling systems are engineered to lower the number of steps required for sampling and are constructed for simple maintenance. A switching valve configuration on GSM and fixed-volume GSL panels enable simultaneous management of fluid routing and provides clear sequencing to the operator. Additionally, components like gauges can be separated during maintenance to reduce downtime.
Engineered For Reliable Results
Closed-loop GSM sampling panels provide samples that are stored in cylinders that maintain the same process conditions as when the sample was taken, ensuring that the sample is accurate. A GSL can use glass laboratory bottles that offer immediate observation of the visual properties of the sample. All our grab sampling panels are constructed with Swagelok tube fittings, minimizing the risk of leakage.
Customized Standard Assemblies Tailored To Suit Your Requirements.
Fixed-volume versions of both GSM and GSL sampling system panel types are accessible, ensuring the segregation of process pressure from the sample bottle and user. This prevents over-filling and overpressure situations. The table below presents a condensed overview of common system criteria along with the recommended grab sampling system for each combination listed.
You can personalize Swagelok grab sampling systems according to your operational needs by incorporating various accessories such as additional instrumentation, sample coolers, automation features, exotic alloys, different mounting options, and more.
Grab Sampling Valve
Overcome the safety, maintenance, and quality challenges associated with standard bottle sampling by adding a Swagelok® grab sampling valve to your fluid system. Our leak-free design eliminates rubber O-rings by using a Swagelok® tube fitting to attach the needle assembly to the valve body.
Features of the Grab Sampling Valve
Easy Needle Replacement
Simply tighten the tube fitting nut to create two all-metal seals.
Improved Needle Design
A pencil point needle assembly pierces without coring the septum, minimizing clogged needles and leaking sample bottles.
Interchangeable Shrouds
We offer a variety of shroud options, including custom configurations to match non-standard sample bottles.
Elastomer-Free Design
By eliminating rubber O-rings, you can minimize the potential for system leaks while reducing your maintenance inventory.
Spring-Return Handle
When the Swagelok grab sampling valve is specified with a spring return handle, the valve automatically moves to the closed position when the handle is released, ensuring you collect the sample amount that you need.
