The Honeywell HERMetic Sampler A-2 is a portable restricted sampling device designed for efficient liquid sampling operations on marine vessels, tankers, terminals, refineries, and storage tanks. Developed for restricted or open sampling applications where controlled vapor release is permitted, the sampler provides a practical solution for collecting representative samples of crude oil, hydrocarbons, and other liquid cargoes.
The HERMetic Sampler A-2 is installed onto compatible 2-inch HERMetic compact vapor control valves using a quick-connect coupling system. The sampling bottle is lowered into the tank using a graduated tape and collects liquid through vertical movement within the tank. Its durable construction, interchangeable sampling bottles, and straightforward operating design make it suitable for cargo verification, custody transfer, inventory control, laboratory analysis, and quality control applications.

Sampling applications include:
Zone sampling: Collecting samples from specific levels or zones within a tank to assess product consistency and composition.
Spot sampling: Taking a sample from a single, defined point in the tank for targeted analysis.
Running sampling: Collecting a continuous sample while moving the sampler through the liquid column to obtain a representative product sample.
Bottom sampling: Gathering samples from the lowest point of a tank to identify sediment, water, or contamination.
Hydrocarbon sampling: Sampling petroleum-based products to verify their properties, quality, and compliance with specifications.
Restricted liquid sampling: Safely collecting samples from liquids that require controlled or limited-access sampling procedures.
