How they improve performance

The Jiskoot™ 210 pneumatic hydrocarbon cell sampler is a low-maintenance, pneumatically actuated sample extraction device, designed for use in externally pumped fast-loop bypass sampling systems. Available in pressure ratings from ANSI Class 150 to 1500 and capable of sampling rates up to 120 grabs/min, it is ideally suited to a wide range of liquid hydrocarbon sampling applications. A high-pressure variant, the Jiskoot 210 pneumatic high-pressure hydrocarbon cell sampler is also available.

These samplers can be used for fluids ranging from natural gas liquids at –20 degC [–4 degF] to refined products and crude oils at temperatures up to 100 degC [212 degF]. A unique three-stage positive displacement mechanism enables accurate, repeatable sample extraction, irrespective of process pressure or fluid viscosity variations.

Jiskoot 210 pneumatic samplers are designed for installation in fast-loop lines with diameters ranging from 1 to 2 in, where the entire process stream passes through the sampler body. The flow-through design and bottom-exit sample outlet help maintain sample integrity by minimizing water retention and reducing dead volume within the sampler to an insignificant level.

Maintenance and seal replacement can be performed without removing the sampler from the fast loop, minimizing downtime and simplifying routine servicing. With a large global installed base and a proven track record in fiscal transfer and product quality measurement applications, Jiskoot 210 pneumatic samplers are a trusted solution for representative liquid sampling.



How they work

Installed in a fast-loop bypass line, these Jiskoot 210 cell samplers use a pneumatically actuated, three-stage, positive displacement mechanism to extract a fixed-volume sample from the flowing process stream. The sample is isolated and transferred through a check valve to the sample outlet, where successive sample grabs are combined to create a representative composite sample.
