Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CONBAR from 3G Electric.
What materials are CONBAR bomb samplers available in?
CONBAR bomb samplers are available in bronze and carbon steel. Bronze models are typically used for sampling non-corrosive fluids such as petroleum products and solvents, while carbon steel samplers are suited for similar applications where material strength is required. The choice of material depends on the chemical compatibility with the fluid being sampled and the environmental conditions of the sampling location.
What is the difference between a CONBAR bomb sampler and a composite bomb sampler?
A CONBAR bomb sampler collects a single sample from a specific depth within a container. A composite bomb sampler is designed to collect samples from multiple depths in one descent, typically by having a series of chambers or a mechanism that opens and closes at different levels. This allows for a representative sample of the entire fluid column, which is useful for applications requiring an average composition rather than a point sample.
What capacities and lengths are available for CONBAR drum samplers?
CONBAR drum samplers are available in capacities ranging from 4 oz to 32 oz. Overall lengths vary from 12 in to 22 in, depending on the model. For example, the 4 oz carbon steel sampler has a 15 in length, while the 32 oz carbon steel sampler has a 22 in length. These dimensions allow the sampler to reach the bottom of standard drums and tanks while providing sufficient sample volume for analysis.
How do I select the correct CONBAR sampler for my fluid type?
Selection depends on the fluid's chemical properties and the required sample volume. For petroleum-based fluids, bronze samplers are commonly used due to their corrosion resistance. For fluids that may react with bronze, carbon steel samplers are an alternative. The capacity should match the volume needed for testing, and the length must be sufficient to reach the desired sampling depth. Consult the product datasheet for material compatibility and dimensional specifications.
Can CONBAR samplers be used for sampling hazardous chemicals?
CONBAR samplers are designed for use with a range of industrial fluids, including hazardous chemicals, provided the sampler material is compatible with the chemical. Bronze and carbon steel have different resistance profiles. It is essential to verify chemical compatibility with the manufacturer's guidelines or conduct a compatibility assessment before use. Proper personal protective equipment and handling procedures should always be followed.
