The Tech Inc. Constant-Pressure Sample Cylinder (Floating Piston) holds a live hydrocarbon sample at line pressure from the moment it is taken until it is analysed. A floating piston separates the sample from a pre-charge gas on the other side; the sample stays in a single liquid phase and its light ends cannot flash off. The cylinder serves as the receiver for automatic crude oil samplers and for spot samples of condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL) and LPG.
Main components
- Honed SS 316 cylinder body, 1 litre
- Floating piston with seals selected for the sample fluid
- Sample-side and pre-charge-side end caps with valves
- Relief device for overpressure protection
- Optional piston position indicator
- Optional mixing provision for homogenising the sample before sub-sampling
- Protective end caps and carrying handle for transport
Applications: crude oil custody-transfer sampling, condensate, NGL and LPG sampling, transport of live samples to the laboratory, and vapour pressure and pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) testing.
