Why take grab samples?
Closed Loop Sampling is a method of collecting grab
samples in closed containers without venting to the
atmosphere or exposing the operator to the process
liquids , vapors or gases.

5
What is Closed Loop Sampling?
Hygiene and Safety
Protects operators against carcinogens, hot samples,
Acids, Cyanide, Phosgene and Organics,
Environmental Requirements
Prevents VOCs from escaping into the atmosphere.
Representative Sample
Ensures that accurate and representative sample is taken
every time.

liquids with high vaporization pressures. Sample is captured
in a sample cylinder for easy transportation to the lab. It is
especially for petroleum gases and liquids with high vapor
pressures. ( >19 psia)

A Manual Continuous Sample Systems is a Closed Loop Liquid
Sampler that satisfies many sampling needs.
This system allows continuous flow during the sampling
process as well as by-pass mode .

Main Types of Manual Continuous System
MD Flow-Through
MH Manual Continuous
MI Inline



Manual Continuous Sampling Systems 21
General Features and Benefits
22
Fulfills a variety of liquid sampling needs. Ideal also for high pressure and
temperature applications
Thanks to patented valve design, Zero dead volume is ensured that it is a
must for representative samples
Ensures operator safety through strong structure
Sample is collected into a bottle by simply turning a valve
Shroud assembly with window allows operator to see filling bottle
while taking a sample.

Standard Plate Size ~ 35 cm x 15 cm
All tubing, valves, cylinders and fittings come standard as SS.
Monel, Alloy 20, Hastelloy B and C are also available
Seats and Seals are Teflon. O-rings are Viton.
Standard sampling Volume 30 cc to ~ 1 liter. Custom volumes available

MD Flow Thru
24
The MD sampler is used for higher pressure
and temperature applications where
continuous flow is desired or viscous
process is encountered.
A free flowing needle valve allows for
continuous flow through a 1" or smaller
orifice.
MD has no internal volume allowing for a
representative sample
MD has hardened ceramic seat (8x
stronger than steel )

MH Manual Continuous
The MH sample system has a 1/4 turn,
three way ball valve that allows
continuous flow during the sampling
process as well as by-pass mode
Typically used for lower pressure and
temperature applications with a return.

Fixed Volume Sampling Systems
40
A specific amount of liquid sample is captured in a
fixed volume chamber and blown down into the
sample bottle with low pressure nitrogen

The perfect solution if the application calls for a
fixed amount of sample

It is also ideal for sampling of high pressure liquids

Features and Benefits
41
Easily operated with one valve
Eliminates overfilling of sample bottle.
Lab can specify exact amount of process desired.
Prevents over pressuring of sample bottle

Why choose Texas Sampling
In TSI systems more components are installed on the back side of the
panel for better operator safety.
TSIs patented MD Valve design allows for continuous flow through a
orifice. The valve also has a live load seat to withstand temperature
fluctuations and will return to original state after routing use. Our
competitors do not possess this valve technology.
TSI bottle systems have replaceable needles, pencil point vent needles
which alleviate plugging of the vent needle, shroud assemblies fitted
per each customers bottle with a viewing slot, and removable sleeves.
TSI systems are unique in terms of rolled edges, cylinder saddles, PNP
on bottle applications and sight flow indicators liquids.

47
TSIs Advantages over Competitors-1
Nitrogen rotameter allows the operator to confirm that the vent line
is clear. Competitors do not use any on their purge systems.
Sight flow indicator on liquid cylinder systems allows the operator to
verify flow and level of the sample cylinder.
TSI standard quick connects have internal check valves to provide a
double block on connections prior to and after the sample cylinder.
PVC saddles allow the customer to properly alignment before quick
connects mate to prevent damage to the stem and/or body
