The RSS RAM Sample System (photo) is the latest addition to this company’s Low Vapor Pressure Liquid Grab Sample Systems. The Ram Sample Valve is used to collect representative samples of low-vapor-pressure liquids without exposing the operator collecting the sample, or allowing emissions to escape to the environment, says the company. It is available in a variety of materials and connections, and can be ordered with an extended plunger or piston or extended body to ensure zero dead volume. The system uses a ram- or piston-type sampling valve, which is said to be ideal for collecting high-viscosity and hot samples directly from the main line or side of a vessel. — SOR Controls Group Ltd., Lenexa, Kan.
