Safe Closed Tank Sampling for Marine, Offshore & Petroleum Industries
The HERMetic Sampler GT is an advanced closed gas tight liquid sampling system designed for safe and accurate sampling of hydrocarbons and hazardous liquids from marine cargo tanks, offshore installations, and petroleum storage facilities. The system allows operators to collect representative liquid samples without releasing vapors into the atmosphere, making it an ideal solution for modern marine safety and environmental compliance requirements.
Supplied by SMTS Marine Solutions LLC, the HERMetic Sampler GT provides reliable performance for tanker operators, terminal facilities, refineries, and offshore installations requiring safe closed sampling operations.
What is HERMetic Sampler GT?
The HERMetic Sampler GT is specifically developed for closed sampling operations requiring up to 0.47 liters of liquid sample. Its fully gas-tight design enables operators to safely collect representative tank samples without releasing hazardous vapors into the atmosphere.
The sampler housing is mounted directly onto any HERMetic 2-inch deck valve using dedicated adaptors. The collected liquid sample is then transferred into a laboratory bottle through gravity using a specially designed distribution block.
Ideal Applications
- Sampling hydrocarbons under closed conditions
- Hazardous liquid cargo operations
- Marine tanker sampling applications
- Custody transfer and quality control
- Safe onboard sampling without vapor release
- Fire, health, and air pollution hazard prevention
The system is supplied with a zone sampling bottle, while spot, bottom, and running bottles are available upon request.
The system is commonly used onboard oil tankers, chemical tankers, petroleum terminals, and offshore facilities for cargo quality control, custody transfer, inventory verification, and laboratory analysis. Mounted directly onto a compatible HERMetic deck valve, the sampler allows accurate sampling at specific tank levels while maintaining complete tank integrity throughout the operation.
Technical Sampling Capabilities
The HERMetic Sampler GT is designed to obtain representative liquid samples from various levels within a cargo or storage tank. The graduated tape allows precise positioning of the sampling bottle at the required depth, ensuring accurate sample collection for quality control and laboratory analysis.
Different bottle configurations enable operators to perform:
- Zone Sampling: Collection of liquid from a specific section of the tank to evaluate product consistency.
- Spot Sampling: Sampling at a predetermined depth for targeted product analysis.
- Bottom Sampling: Collection of liquid from the tank bottom to detect water, sediment, or contamination.
- Running Sampling: Continuous sample collection through multiple tank levels to obtain a representative composite sample.
How HERMetic Sampler GT Works
The HERMetic Sampler GT is easily installed on a compatible HERMetic deck valve using dedicated adaptors.
Sampling Process
- The sampling bottle is lowered into the tank using the graduated tape.
- The operator monitors the sampling depth directly from the tape markings.
- The liquid sample is collected under fully gas-tight conditions.
- The sample is transferred into a laboratory bottle through the distribution block by gravity.
- The sampling bottle can be removed by opening the top section of the sampler housing.
This closed sampling method eliminates hazardous vapor exposure while ensuring accurate and reliable sample collection.
