Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized mechanical interface designed for integration with sampling ports to facilitate the extraction of representative material samples from continuous or batch industrial processes. It ensures sterile, contamination-free sampling while maintaining process integrity and operator safety through standardized connections and sealing mechanisms.
Working Principle
Operates through a sealed connection mechanism that interfaces with sampling ports using quick-connect couplings or threaded fittings. When engaged, it creates a closed-loop pathway that allows material to flow into sampling containers without exposure to the environment. Disengagement automatically seals both the interface and port to prevent leaks and contamination.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L (primary), PTFE seals, FDA-compliant elastomers, borosilicate glass viewing windows (optional), anodized aluminum handles
Technical Parameters
  • Port Size 1/2" to 2" standard
  • Cleanability CIP/SIP compatible
  • Sample Volume 50ml to 1000ml capacity
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm (electropolished)
  • Connection Type Tri-clamp, DIN 11851, SMS, NPT
  • Pressure Rating Up to 10 bar
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 150°C
Standards
ISO 2852, DIN 11864, ASME BPE, 3-A Sanitary Standards
