Models: LGSS, VSS
Warranty: 1 Year

  • Safe, simple methodology for sampling high pressure liquefied gases and process gases
  • Single handle operation
  • Panel mounted pressure gauge
  • Sight glass ensures safe cylinder outage on LGSS
  • Ability to depressurize quick connects before removing cylinder

The SENSOR Cylinder Grab Sampling Systems allow collection of samples from gas and light liquid hydrocarbon applications in a manner that is safe to both the operator and the environment. The sampling process ensures zero emissions, with no spills and zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions, while keeping sample contamination levels to a minimum.

The Liquefied Gas Sampling System (LGSS) allows an operator to visually verify cylinder outage and maximum fill density through our innovative sight glass system, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirement U.S. CFR49.

The Vapor Sampling System (VSS) has many of the same benefits of the LGSS, but allows for the safe and representative sampling of non-condensing gaseous samples. On the VSS, the sight glass is eliminated and the flow is reversed to ensure no condensate is left in the cylinder while sampling.

  • Designed for placement into fast loop to ensure fresh representative sample is always present
  • Cylinder clamp to correctly position and secure sample cylinder
  • Robust double-ended shutoff quick-connect fittings (QC’s)
  • Ability to depressurize QC’s before removing cylinder from sample panel ensures closed loop for zero emission sampling
  • Single handle operation
  • Flush entire system before taking new sample ensures zero dead volume
  • Panel mounted pressure gauge
  • Operating Instruction Manual included

Be sure and look at the other sampling system models that are available like the Basic Bottling Sampling Systems.

The SENSOR Liquefied Gas Sampling System (LGSS) allows for collection of samples from light liquid hydrocarbon applications in a manner that is safe to both the operator and the environment. The sampling process ensures zero emissions, with no spills and zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions, while keeping sample contamination levels to a minimum.

This group of process liquids has a vapor pressure > 19 psia and will boil at atmospheric conditions. This requires that these samples be caught in cylinders to keep the composition and material phase identical to actual operating conditions for lab analysis.

Liquids are not compressible and therefore there needs to be a technique for ensuring a safe outage in the sample cylinder. The Liquefied Gas Sampling System (LGSS) allows an operator to visually verify cylinder outage and maximum fill density through our innovative sight glass system, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirement U.S. CFR49.

Typical closed loop cylinder sampling applications include; liquid methane, ethane, propane, butane, ISO butane, butene, pentene, acetylene, ethylene, propylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and xylene. These closed loop cylinder sampling systems are usually connected to a flare or vapor recovery system to allow for vaporization and depressurization of excess process captured in tubing and hoses.
