Features:
The Piston Type Sample Cylinder PDC is a shipping bottle designed for transportation and storage of pressurized samples, especially hydrocarbon PVT samples. Such samples are collected during well exploration.
To separate the sample fluid from a secondary driving/transfer fluid, the cylinders are equipped with a floating piston. The piston has a single O-ring seal and a slider ring and is designed to minimize friction and reduce pressure load. A mixing ball is incorporated. The bottles are designed with a minimum of dead volume.
The two end caps are sealed with double O-ring seals and back-up rings that allow long term storage. Both end caps are held in place by strong circlips. Right angle needle valves with 1/4” NPT female port connections are fitted to the cylinders. Valve protectors on both ends protect the valves during handling and transportation. A special fitting is provided on the sample side of the cylinder which allows for evacuation.
