Sample Thief ( Bacon Bomb)
Obtains samples from storage tanks, tank cars and drums. When the thief strikes the bottom of the tank, a plunger assembly opens to admit the sample. The plunger closes again when the bomb is withdrawn, forming a tight seal. Samples can be taken at any depth with the use of a secondary trip line, or extension rods may be added for obtaining samples at levels of up to 18 ( 46cm) off the bottom. Equipped with plunger locking cam for tight closure during transport ( except for 4 oz 1 1/ 8" dia. model) . Special models include a 4 oz ( 118mL) ‘ pencil’ model for sampling through small diameter pipes and openings, and clear acrylic samplers with plated brass plunger and end pieces. Modified samplers can be supplied for special applications – we invite your inquiries
