Standard design

The sampling port consists of a housing made as a socket for direct welding into the tank wall or pipework, a rubber plug which is positioned by a press screw, o-ring, chain and closing cap. There are three types: Type P, Type PC, and Type T (see page 2).

Working principle

Before sampling, sterilize the plug with alcohol, for instance. The inner part of the rubber plug will automatically be cleaned during either tank or pipe cleaning. To take a sample, simply unscrew the closing cap and insert a one-millimetre hypodermic needle through the rubber plug. Replacement of the rubber plug should only take place when the tank is empty, and pressure has been released. To replace the plug, loosen the press screw until it is released from the holder and the rubber plug is released. Mount the new plug, then remount the press screw tightly
