Safe, Accurate and Fully Closed Tank Sampling for Marine & Chemical Cargo Operations
When handling petroleum products, chemicals, or hazardous liquid cargoes, obtaining a representative sample safely is critical. The HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem is specifically designed to perform closed and gas-tight sampling operations without exposing personnel to hazardous vapors or releasing emissions into the atmosphere.
Trusted across tankers, offshore installations, terminals, and storage facilities worldwide, the HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem delivers accurate sampling results while helping operators maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and cargo quality requirements.
At SMTS MARINE SOLUTIONS LLC, we supply and support HERMetic sampling solutions for marine and offshore applications, providing expert technical assistance, spare parts, inspections, and worldwide service support.
What is HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem?
The HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem is a closed sampling device specifically designed to collect representative samples from tanks containing petroleum products, chemicals, and hazardous liquids. Its gas-tight design prevents vapor emissions and protects personnel from exposure to toxic or flammable gases during sampling operations.
Using a controlled overpressure transfer system, the collected sample is transferred directly into a laboratory bottle while maintaining sample integrity and eliminating contamination risks.
Traditional sampling methods can expose personnel to hazardous vapors and may compromise sample quality. The HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem eliminates these risks by allowing sampling under fully closed and gas-tight conditions.
How the HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem Works
The sampler connects directly to a compatible 2-inch HERMetic compact valve using a quick-connect coupling.
Sampling Process
- Sampling bottle is lowered into the tank
- Liquid sample is collected under closed gas-tight conditions
- Upper chamber is pressurized using a manual pump
- Sample is safely transferred into a laboratory bottle
- No vapor release occurs during the transfer process
This closed-loop operation ensures safe handling, accurate results, and compliance with international safety regulations.
