Strahman Sampling Valves

Strahman Sampling Valves

Sampling Valves are valves dedicated to drawing a live sample from process piping. They also can be used for injection purposes. They are frequently used in many industrial processes involving liquids and gasses to ensure the product quality meets standards.

Samples can be taken in several ways, including using a ball valve to fill an open container. The issue with this approach is that there is little to no safety measures involved with a strategy to protect operators from the process. An open container adds the possibility of product surplus and spills that can harm and impose health risks to the operator. Using a ball valve for drawing live samples can lead to spills and splashing due to the valve’s quick opening 1/4 turn nature. Ball valves also allow for dead space and clogging, which may leave old or contaminated liquid behind resulting in a bad sample.

Spray Nozzle Engineering provide the solution through the distribution of Strahman Sampling Valves: Sampling Valves that extract fluid directly from the pipeline, taking safe samples without failure – under high pressure or high vacuum conditions.

Strahman Sampling Valves come in three different series:

SV series

This Sampling Valve series is the standard series with a non-clogging design (no dead space) and an opening indicator for safe user extraction. The SV series also provides a reliable live sample as the one-piece piston fills the valve cavity. The SV series is used for both sampling and injection applications and can be customized to meet an entire facility’s applications.;

MS series

The Metal Seated Series is dimensionally the same as the standard SV Series but is suitable for ANSI Class 600, 1000°F applications.

QA series

The Quick Advanced Piston series has features of the standard valves with a quick open/close feature. The QA series uses a rack and gear combination to maintain the piston’s linear motion and provides the valve with a full piston design while travelling just 1/3 turn. This results in less time and labour required to collect a true, representative sample.
