The primary aim of this document is to discuss how engineering controls are the most effective way to prevent accidental releases or injuries when sampling hazardous chemicals such as sulfuric acid.
There are two main types of sample receptacles in the Chemical Industry: 1. Bottles Other Open-top containers (in blue below)2. Closed containers such as pressure cylinders and piston-injectors (in green below)
The purpose of this short presentation (20 minutes + Q&A) is to give a general overview of different technologies to sample chemicals. The focus will be on three specific areas:Industrial Hygiene & environmentSample QualitySafety
Overview of BIAR's sampling system types and how they fit in the process

General overview of BIAR Sampling System and its products.
Quality requirements for thefusion welding of metallic materialsPart 2, 1. Edition 2021
Simple overview showing the three main parts of a BIAR Sampling System
Forms that helps to determine recommended sampling system for a given process
General overview of a new and safer technology for refineries that need to sample HF in their alkylation process
Initial audit checklist to assess potential areas for improvement on sample stations
Overview of how BIAR's sample system provide high quality samples without dead space in a safe and simple manner
The primary aim of this document is to discuss the fundamental challenges which manufacturers and chemical plants are presented with when grab sampling EO.
The most important drawback of Sampling ball valves is the cavity in the ball itself. It is impossible to make sure the cavity is clean and no cross-contamination occurs. It’s very likely that residue will be left in the ball, no matter the position of it.
Management System for the Development, Manufacturing and Sale of Sampling Systems
BIAR's advanced engineered seat provides a directly representative sample, the first time, every time. Other valve manufacturers are cheaper to buy but cost more after just a few months
This certificate is to certify that the valve has been tested in accordance with and meets all limits stated in API Standard 607, sicth edition September 2010 and testing of valves according to ISO 10497:2010 requirements.
With piston‐type valves, effective cleaning is impossible. Therefore, it is impossible to grab a directly representative sample.
BIAR's alternative to Sample Panels and traditional sample cylinders.

Our sample valves are a specific kind of valve and no standard P&ID symbol can be used to represent it.
Quick overview of grabing a sample into a piston-injector
This video shows how bottles fit into the bottle holder from BIAR Sampling System.With this accessory, the bottle is not as tightly held into place as with our other accessories. The operator can very easily fit the bottle, he/she doesn't have to screw it.The four guiding rods are designed according to the bottle and the spring holder keeps the bottle into place.
Demonstration of our spring-to-close hand lever. This drive is usually a good fit for high viscosity applications or when there is not a lot of pressure in the line.
This quick video shows how a sample of hazardous chemical such as liquid Liquefied gas, Chlorine or HF is transferred from the Sample Cylinder type Columbia-LY at the lab.This process usually occurs in a controlled environment, under the hood.
This video shows how easy and intuitive it is to sample hazardous liquefied gas into a Sample Cylinder using BIAR’s technology. Easy = intrinsically safe.Because the valve is in-line, either directly on the process line or on a bypass / fast-loop, a directly representative sample is collected without the need to purge / flush small tubing.
BIAR Sample valves as standard come with our spring-to-close hand wheel, aka "Magic Hand Wheel". This safety feature closes the valve automatically as soon as the operator let the hand wheel go.
BIAR's sample cabinet or enclosure give an extra layer of protection for the operator
Turning the hand wheel lifts the stem
BIAR's top-of-reactor recirculation loom sampling system for the chemical processing industry is a turn-key device for grabbing samples of hazardous chemicals. Designed to get the best sample quality in a safe and simple way, it not only helps to comply with regulations and environmental emission but it also has a significant positive impact on industrial hygiene.The best part might yet be the fact that overall it helps reduce a plant's Total Cost of Ownership.
A vent port is supplied as standard on all of our sample valves. This allows air displacement from the sample receptacle and prevents pressure built up.
There are toxic fumes, a lot of PPE and operators don't really like it (who can blame them when all they know are complicated wobbly sample panels!) That's until they've tried an Inline Sample Valve by BIAR Sampling Systems & BIAR Sampling - North America.
Using the REVO-BOX, a bottle can be used to capture hazardous Chemicals (HazChem) in a totally controlled environment. This is like a "glove box" but better.
To collect a sample in a safe and effective way directly from a flange on top of a reactor, we have designed a closed-loop recirculation system that works from vacuum up to 100psig of pressure. Different configuration are available depending on your requirements.
To collect a Liquid Chlorine sample in a safe and effective way using a robust proprietary Sample Cylinder.
To collect a sample of HF in a safe and effective way using a robust proprietary Sample Cylinder.
