The HERMetic Sampler GT is a professional portable gas-tight sampling system designed for closed sampling of hydrocarbons and liquid products where controlled and representative tank sampling is required.
The HERMetic Sampler GT is designed for applications involving liquids that may present fire, health, or air-pollution hazards, allowing samples to be collected under closed conditions while avoiding unnecessary vapour release and exposure to fumes during operation.
The sampler provides approximately 0.5 litre sampling capacity and uses a graduated tape to measure sampling height inside the tank. The collected liquid can be transferred from the sampling bottle to a laboratory bottle by gravity through a special distribution block.
The HERMetic Sampler GT can be supplied with different sampling bottle configurations for zone, spot, bottom, and running sampling applications, depending on the required sampling procedure.
Gas-Tight Closed Sampling for Hydrocarbon & Liquid Cargo Operations | SMTS MARINE SOLUTIONS LLC
Designed for Representative Hydrocarbon Sampling
The HERMetic Sampler GT is designed to collect representative samples from tanks while maintaining a gas-tight sampling arrangement.
The equipment can support professional sampling applications associated with:
- Hydrocarbon Cargoes
- Crude Oil
- Petroleum Products
- Fuel Products
- Refined Products
- Liquid Hydrocarbons
- Marine Cargo Inspection
- Storage Tank Sampling
The appropriate sampling bottle and configuration should be selected according to the cargo, tank arrangement, sampling procedure, and applicable safety requirements.
Reduce Vapour Release & Fume Exposure
The gas-tight construction of the HERMetic Sampler GT is designed to avoid pressure release from the tank and reduce exposure to fumes during sampling operations.
Closed sampling can help support:
- Reduced vapour exposure
- Controlled tank sampling
- Reduced product release
- Safer sampling operations
- Representative sample collection
- Controlled laboratory sample transfer
- Professional cargo inspection
Actual operation should always follow the applicable vessel SMS, cargo procedures, terminal requirements, site safety procedures, equipment certification, and manufacturer’s instructions.
Sampling at Different Tank Levels
Zone, Spot, Bottom & Running Sampling
The HERMetic Sampler GT can be configured with different sampling bottles to support different tank sampling requirements.
Zone Sampling
Zone sampling can be used to obtain a representative sample from a defined section of the liquid within the tank.
Spot Sampling
Spot sampling allows collection of a sample at a selected level within the tank.
Bottom Sampling
Bottom sampling supports collection of liquid from the lower section of the tank and can assist with checking water, sediment, contamination, or product condition.
Running Sampling
Running sampling allows the sampler to collect liquid while moving through the selected sampling range, supporting representative sampling of the liquid column.
