6. Sampling

1. Verify correct installation of the sampler, according to instructions in previous
chapter.
2. Verify that the sample tube is clean.
3. Verify that the supply line operates at desired conditions, i.e. there is an average

is developed.
4. Open the inlet valve of the sampler. Verify that the sampler operates in the
recommended pressure range. Keep the inlet valve open for a sampling period of
time. Close the inlet valve at the end of the sampling.
5. When a sufficient amount of suspended solids has accumulated in test tube register
its quantity (in ml.) and the time required for the sample collection (in min).
The required amount of test periods is determined a time required for a collection of
at least 1 ml. of suspended solids in the sample tube. The process of determining the
right amount of test periods may require multiple initial sampling attempts, before
