HERMetic Sampler A-2 and A-4 - Land Applications

HERMetic Sampler A-2 and A-4 is dedicated to applications where restricted sampling is authorized. The sampler is used for crude oil sampling on storage tanks at refineries and terminals.

Overview
What Is It?
The HERMetic Sampler A-2 and A-4 is a portable sampler for use in applications where restricted sampling is authorized. The liquid transfer from the sampler to the sample bottle is carried out in open conditions.

The key features of Sampler A-2 and A-4 include:
  • Used for connection on 2-inch HERMetic compact valves
  • For applications involving liquids with low or high viscosity
  • Ideal for use under open operations
  • Easy installation on 2-inch vapor control valves with quick connect coupling
  • Sampling height can be measured on the graduated tape
  • Sampling bottle can be easily removed and exchanged
  • Delivered with a zone sampling bottle—spot, running and bottom sampling bottles are also available on request 
Technical specifications include:
  • Tape length for A-2/A-4: 30 m/ 100 ft
  • Tape length Option 2 for A4: 40 m/ 114 ft
  • Capacity of sampling bottles A-2: up to 0.47 litre
  • Capacity of sampling bottles A-4: up to 1.8 litre
  • Type of Gaskets: 
    • FKM (For Sampler GT)
    • FFKM (For Sampler GT Chem)
How Does It Work?
​The sampler housing is mounted on top of the HERMetic 2” ball valve or a 4” deck valve, depending on the type of sampler model. The sample is taken through the vertical movement of the sampling bottle inside the liquid. The bottle is linked to a graduated tape. A reading window allows users to monitor the bottle location.

What Problems Does It Solve?
​Honeywell’s samplers for restricted operation offer easy installation, low costs, and clean operation during sampling. It permits taking a representative sample of the content inside the tank for further analysis in a laboratory.
