The Richter sampling valve allows the operator to extract a sample of the product from the production line or reactor and safely store it for transportation to the laboratory where it will be analysed or to the archive room where it can be retrieved for further use. In chemical plants, a sample can be taken during the process to ensure that the output meets specifications (or that the quality is acceptable), before shipping the chemicals or before accepting the chemical product. With it’s top-entry design for easy maintenance the valve body can remain installed in the system. Its long plug tip counteracts clogging and is suitable for caking media. Wetted surfaces are anti-adhesive due to PFA / PTFE and can be steam sterilised. Key design safety features make the PA series the right choice for sampling.
