Disposable Liquid Samplers
Insert the Style A samplers into your liquid and seal the top opening with your thumb to collect a sample.
The syringe-like design of the Style B samplers lets you extract liquid without manually creating a vacuum.
Style C sampler bottles have a leakproof lid, so they’re good for shipping and storing small samples. After you collect the sample and remove the needle, their membrane automatically seals. They come with a tamper seal label to put over the lid, showing if the bottle is ever opened. They're also phthalate-free.

Liquid Samplers
Collect liquid samples from drums, tanks, and other containers.
Stainless steel samplers open and close by pulling up on the center ring.
Press the button on the end of the PTFE samplers to let liquid flow in, and then release it to close.
Design-Your-Own Extra-Long-Reach Liquid Samplers
Choose a telescoping handle and a snap-on bottle or beaker to collect samples from large tanks and vats.

Liquid Samplers for Extra-Large Tanks
Lower these samplers with a chain or cable to collect samples from the bottom of large tanks. Also known as bomb samplers, they open automatically when they touch the bottom of the tank or they can be opened manually with a pull line.
Vacuum Samplers for Liquids
Pump the handle to draw liquid out of a tank or drum through a hose into sample bottles. Only the hose and hose weight come into contact with the liquid, reducing the possibility of cross contamination.

Sterile Disposable Liquid Samplers
Sterilized so they won’t contaminate your samples or lines, these liquid samplers are often used in food processing, pharmaceutical, and biotech applications. Unlike traditional sampling methods such as ladles and cups, they don’t expose samples to the surrounding environment. These samplers use gravity to draw out liquid through the needle directly into the bag. The needle has a luer lock connection, so it’s easy to remove the needle after you take the sample. You can also swap the needle out beforehand if your application needs a different kind.
These bags are best for taking large samples. They’re ISO 10993 compliant, so they’re approved for use in medical devices. They meet USP Class VI, meaning they’re made of plastic that’s been tested to the highest standards to reduce the risk of leaching into biological samples. Manufactured free of contaminants and allergens, they are BPA- and latex-free. They’re also TSE/BSE compliant, so they’ve never come into contact with any animal products.
These liquid samplers are typically used with sampling tube fittings.

Sludge Samplers
Closed
with Sample
Collect and measure buildup from the bottom of oil tanks, septic tanks, wastewater lagoons, and other areas. Unlike other samplers that only hold liquids, these samplers can draw in solids, too. They help you monitor sludge, which is important for maintaining healthy heating systems and meeting environmental regulations for sewage. Not for use with ethanol or ethanol-blended fuel.
Made of a strong plastic, these samplers are rigid enough to push through tough layers of sludge to collect a complete sample. A valve lets in liquids and solids, then blocks them from going out. Samplers are clear and marked with 1-ft. graduations, so you can view and measure what’s inside. Press down on the valve pin to empty.
These samplers consist of three hollow 5-ft. tubes. Screw together as many as you need to match the depth of your tank. Since they’re detachable, they’re easy to transport. Add extensions (sold separately) to make samplers longer.

Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Plastic Measuring Spoon Sets
Measure ingredients for your food processing line. To help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, these spoons contain metal and chemical additives that make them set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines. They’re also bright blue, so workers can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. Made of polypropylene, they’re lighter than metal spoons and won’t scratch surfaces. These spoons are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Stainless Steel Bleed Rings
- For Use With: Air, Natural Gas, Oil, Steam, Water
Create an access point in a pipe line where corrosion is a concern. Often used to relieve pressure or siphon and sample liquids, these bleed rings act as a port between two pipe flanges, eliminating the need to take apart your flanges to get inside. They include a plug, or replace the plug with your own fitting, valve, or probe. Made of stainless steel, these bleed rings resist rusting.
Install these bleed rings between two pipe flanges along with a gasket on both sides to avoid leaks. They’re designed to fit flanges that meet ASME B16.5.
304 stainless steel bleed rings keep corrosion at bay in wet conditions but will start to corrode when exposed to salt water. 316 stainless steel bleed rings withstand wet conditions as well as chemicals and salt water.

Steel Bleed Rings
- For Use With: Air, Natural Gas, Oil, Steam, Water
Access the inside of a pipe line to vent pressure, drain liquid, or take samples. These bleed rings act as a port where two pipe flanges meet, so you don’t have to disassemble your flanges to get inside. They include a plug, or you can attach your own fitting, valve, or probe. Made of steel, these bleed rings should be used in noncorrosive environments to prevent rusting.
Install these bleed rings between two pipe flanges along with a gasket on both sides to avoid leaks. They’re designed to fit flanges that meet ASME B16.5.

Sanitary Sampling Valves
- Valve Type: Stop Cock
- For Use With: Food, Beverage
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2600, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1550
Take liquid samples in sanitary environments—these sampling valves have a hygienic design, so they’re commonly used in breweries and wineries. With a body made of 316 stainless steel and a PTFE plastic seat, they resist the high temperatures and harsh chemicals of clean-in-place (CIP) processes. These valves have an extremely smooth surface, leaving no space for bacteria to grow. Quick-clamp connections, also known as tri-clamp fittings, are easily taken apart for regular cleaning. These valves are self-draining, so previous samples and cleaning chemicals won’t contaminate future samples. Both the seat and the silicone O-ring comply with FDA standards for direct contact with food and beverage.
To take samples, turn the thumb screw to open valves. Hang a bucket for sample collection from the bucket groove. Valves also have a leak detection port that will release a small amount of liquid to let you know when it’s time to replace all the valve seals.
Valves with a bent spout have a tab for connecting carbon dioxide testing devices. They’re often used for carbonated beverages. They shouldn’t be used with liquids that have solids in them, such as the grape skins or seeds in wine, as those can get caught in the outlet.

Digital Weighing Spoons
Weigh liquids, powders, or crystals as you transfer them from one container to another with these spoons. A digital screen on the handle displays the weight of your material to the nearest 0.1 g or 0.005 oz. For measuring volume, the head is marked in 5-ml increments up to 30 ml. Head is corrosion resistant and can be removed from the handle for cleaning. Spoons include a traceable calibration certificate to NIST standards.
