New and Improved Tank Sampling Device
Take a sample from the bottom surface, or any level, of an underground tank, barge, or tanker cargo tank for inspection
The new version of this product has been designed so that the cover will fit a Mason jar as well as a bottle. The stopper will fit any drink bottle or common gallon jug.
Proper housekeeping of a tank farm requires that management knows the conditions of tank bottom accumulations. Is there a water bottom? What color – clear, brown, black? Is there any scum or obvious microorganism material?
The importance of knowing that the settled water in the sump of a storage tank is discolored cannot be overstated. After all, the coloration of the water is caused by contamination of the fuel itself. So when dark-colored water is found, it should be removed and the fuel should be checked using the color rating of filter membranes (ASTM D2276).
GTP-9670-20 (pictured above) combines a threaded cap that will fit a standard Mason jar (sold separately) with 20 feet of weighted, bonded polyurethane tubing. Simply lower the weighted end of the tubing to the desired level and operate the plunger pump to draw the sample. The assembly comes complete with internal bonding and grounding wire and clamp.
Every pump comes with both a jar connection and a conical stopper, designed to seal on the opening on a bottle or container with a 0.70-1.10” inside diameter.
