SPECIFICATIONS
We appreciate your business and your choice of Welker
products. The installation, operation, andmaintenance liability for this product becomes that of the purchaser at the time of receipt. Reading
the applicable Installation, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) Manual prior to installation and
operation of this equipment is required for a full understanding of its application and performanceprior to use.*
If you have any questions, please call 1-800-776-7267 (USA) or 1-281-491-2331.
*The following procedures have been written for use with standard Welkerparts and equipment. Assemblies that
have been modified may have additional requirements and specifications that are not listed in this manual.
The Welker Flare Stack Sampling System utilizes an auxiliary gas supply, an eductor, and a
Welker LSS-1 sampler to collect samples from a non-pressurized or vacuum source. The FSSsystem is electronically controlled and can be set to sample proportional-to-flow.
The eductor and auxiliary gas are used to create a flow loop that continually presents fresh product
to the LSS-1, allowing for collection of accurate, representative samples. The LSS-1 sampler collectssample from the flowing stream of product and deposits the sample into a sample container for
laboratory analysis.
Welkermay custom design the Flare Stack Sampling System to sui t the parti cular application
and specif icati ons of each customer.

INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS
A sample probe is recommended to extract the sample from the center one-third (1/3) of the
pipeline. The sample probe should be located in the least turbulent area of the flowing stream as
available (i.e., not in a header or blow-down stack and away from obstructions, elbows, or
partially closed valves), in an area where the sample is well-mixed and representative of theproduct.
1. Mount the sample panel in a location convenient for sample collection.
2.
Connect the probe in the product pipeline to the product inlet (P1) on the manifold.
Figure 2: Manifold Block Connections
3. Connect the product outlet (P2) on the manifold to the P2line of the probe, if supplied, or flarefor discharge.

4. Connect instrument air to the instrument supply port.5. Connect a sample container to the sample outlet.
6. Connect 110VAC power to the ATC-354 Electronic Digital Counter. Refer to the Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual for the ATC-354 for more detailed power connectioninstructions as necessary.
7. Connect dry contacts from the PLC to the explosion proof electrical enclosure.
Figure 3: Electrical Connections
1. Close the Product Outlet Valve.
2. Open the connection to the instrument air supply.
3. The relief and regulator should be set by the manufacturer prior to shipment. If not set, adjust theregulator until pressure reaches approximately 40 psi as indicated by the pressure gauge. Set the
relief valve to approximately 50 to 60 psi. Refer to the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
Manualfor the WelkerRV-1 Relief Valve for more detailed instructions as necessary.
4. If using a helium-filled sample container, rather than a vacuumed sample container, open the
sample container outlet valve to release the helium from the container.
5. Open the sample container inlet valve.
6.
Open the probe connection.7. Open the product outlet/return connection.
8. Slowly open the Product Outlet Valve, continuing until the flow indicator indicates flow.
9. Turn on power to the ATC-354 digital counter.
10.Program the PLC to the desired number of contacts between samples.11.Check for leaks and repair any necessary. If no leaks are present, the system is now operational.
