Abstract
A sample pressure reducing system is provided that integrates various pressure applications into a single system that provides the end user with a high-integrity sample without damaging equipment. The system facilitates sampling high-pressure product into a low-pressure container. The system fills and transfers product to reduce pressure automatically and repeatedly.
Claims16
A system for sampling a crude oil sample at a reduced pressure, the system comprising:
- a dual-cavity cylinder comprising each of a first cavity and a second cavity;
- a piston positioned between the first cavity and the second cavity;
- a blanket gas applied to the second cavity of the dual-cavity cylinder;
- a first solenoid;
- wherein when the first solenoid is activated, sample is provided to the system.
