US 12,253,440 B2 · Methods and systems for automatic multi-phase mobile sampling collection and analysis

Abstract

A fluid sampling device including an inlet configured to receive a portion of a non-homogeneous fluid flowing through a conduit, a first double block bleed valve coupled to the inlet, a first flexible hose coupled to the first double block bleed valve by a first quick acting and leakage free coupling, a collection drum coupled to the first flexible hose by a first control valve, and a container coupled to the connection drum by a manual valve, wherein the device is configured to collect a fluid sample in the container. The device also includes a pressure controller to control pressure within the collection drum, and a level indicator to indicate a level of fluid in the collection drum.
