Blacfive Series 1-This sampling valve enables process operators to safely obtain representative samples under pressurized or full-vacuum conditions.

Most importantly, operators are never directly exposed to the process conditions inside the pipeline or vessel. The process medium cannot escape uncontrollably from the vessel or pipeline, significantly reducing risks to both personnel and the environment.

Key Benefits

• Extremely low risk of cross-contamination between samples
• No dead volume between the sampling point and the main process stream
• Suitable for operation under full vacuum or pressurized conditions, without the need for an additional secondary valve
• Suitable for high-temperature applications, with temperatures up to 300°C (subject to confirmation based on specific process conditions)
• Safe and reliable sampling
• Sampling can be performed without pre-flushing or pre-draining the process medium, minimizing unnecessary material rework or disposal
• The valve can be easily cleaned while the process remains in continuous operation
• A variety of sampling adapters are available to meet specific application requirements and comply with applicable health and safety regulations
• No heating jacket required, avoiding product contamination caused by overheating or even “baking/sintering” of the product due to heat tracing or jacketing
• Seal materials can be selected according to process requirements. The standard seal is pure PTFE, while alternative materials—including metal seals—are available for applications up to 290°C
• Enables collection of a consistent, predetermined sample volume, rather than an uncontrolled or variable sample volume

Typical Applications

• High-temperature, high-viscosity resin sampling
• Silicone sampling
• Sampling of other high-temperature, high-viscosity process media
