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 The plunger closes again when the bomb is withdrawn, forming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.
