HERMetic Sampler GT4 Chem
for Marine Applications
Honeywell Tanksystem's HERMetic Sampler GT4 is a 4-inch portable large volume sampler with a sampling capacity of approximately 1.8 litres. It is ideal for gas tight sampling of liquids that present a fire, health or air pollution hazard, and for applications where a large sample volume is required in a single operation.
What Is It?
The HERMetic Sampler GT4 is the go-to solution for large volume closed sampling — ideal when more than 0.5 litre of liquid is required from a single sampling operation. Its gas tight construction avoids any vapour release from the tank and completely eliminates operator exposure to fumes during the operation.
The sampler housing is mounted on top of the HERMetic 4-inch deck valve. Transfer of the liquid from the sampling bottle to a laboratory bottle occurs by opening the transfer valve at the bottom of the sampler. All along the sampling process, the system remains tight and the operator is never exposed to VOC emissions.
The HERMetic Sampler GT4 is delivered with a zone sampling bottle. Spot, bottom and running bottles are available on request.
Key Use Cases
- Gas tight sampling of liquids that present fire, health or air pollution hazards
- When more than 0.5 litre of liquid is required in a single operation
- Crude oil, refined petroleum products, and chemical tanker applications
- When the HERMetic 4-inch deck valve is installed on the vessel
- Zone, spot, running and bottom sampling scenarios
- Compliant with API MPMS Chapter 17.11 and custody transfer requirements
How Does It Work?
The HERMetic Sampler GT4 allows easy installation on the 4-inch deck valve. The sampling height can be read on the graduated tape, while the sampling bottle can be easily removed by opening the top of the sampler housing. A pump can be connected to the winder to accelerate and complete the transfer of fluid into the laboratory bottle.
Technical specifications:
- Tape length: 30m / 100ft standard — 50m available on request
- Capacity of sampling bottles: up to 1.8 litres
- Transfer method: Gravity through transfer valve at bottom of sampler
- ATEX Certificate: KEMA 06ATEX0027 (II 1G c IIB T6)
What Problems Does It Solve?
The HERMetic Sampler GT4 ensures closed gas tight sampling of liquids that pose a fire, health or air pollution hazard. It permits collection of a representative sample of the tank content for further laboratory analysis. In addition to safer operations, users benefit from lower operation and maintenance costs.
