HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem - Land Applications
What Is It?
Honeywell Tanksystem’s HERMetic Sampler GTX Chem is a portable, gas-tight liquid sampler designed for closed sampling of chemicals and liquids in terminal and refinery storage tanks. With a sampling capacity of approximately 0.47 liters, it ensures safe, emission-free operation while collecting representative product samples.
This sampler is specifically engineered for 2-inch HERMetic compact valves and is ideal for sampling operations that involve:
- Chemicals with low or high viscosity
- Representative sampling of tank content
- Zero gas emission during sampling
- Differentiated sampling types: spot, bottom, running, or zone
- Hazardous environments (Zone 0) requiring certified safety equipment
Its over-pressurization liquid transfer mechanism allows the sample to be safely and cleanly transferred into a laboratory bottle without exposure to vapors.
How Does It Work?
- Installs easily on 2-inch HERMetic compact valves via quick-connect coupling
- Uses manual pump pressurization to transfer the liquid sample
- Offers flexible sampling types: zone, spot, running, bottom
- Includes a graduated tape for depth indication
- Designed for safe use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX Zone 0)
Technical Specifications :
- Max Tank Overpressure: 0.3 bar (4.4 psi)
- Tape Length: 30 m (100 ft)
- Sampling Bottle Capacity: ~0.47 liters
Compliance & Certifications :
- KEMA 06ATEX0027 (II 1 G c IIB T6) Construction Safety Approval
- EU Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX)
- API MPMS Chapter 17.11
- Approved by major classification societies
What Problems Does It Solve?
- Enables closed-loop, gas-tight sampling of hazardous chemicals
- Prevents vapor release and operator exposure
- Ensures accurate, representative sample collection
- Supports regulatory compliance and safety requirements
- Reduces operational risks, maintenance needs, and costs
