Representative Sampling
Results
the universal, isokinetic sampling port generates
adequate flow velocities at the filter material for
volume flows up to 6.000m³/h (DN 600)
the variability of the universal, isokinetic
sampling port allows for its installation to all pipe
systems on all ships
the longest, uninterrupted failure free test of the
sampling system ran 18 hours, at a maximum
pressure of 5,5 bar and and a permanent volume
flow of 389,3m³/h
