How the LKH Multistage works
Construction
The sampling port consists of a housing made as a socket for direct welding into the tank wall or pipework, a rubber plug which is positioned by a press screw, an o-ring, chain and a closing cap. These different types of sockets are mounted:
- Socket, Type T, is welded into a 25-mm diameter hole in a tank wall
- Socket, Type P, is welded onto a pipe wall and, thereafter, an 8-mm hole is drilled
- Socket, Type PC, is available for welding onto extruded pipe ends equal to 1” as well as DN25
Operating principle
To take a sampling, simply unscrew the closing cap and insert a one-mm hypodermic needle through the rubber plug.
