Operating Principle SSV-B Series
(Sampling under pressure, with bottle)
Valve in closed position
The valve is installed into a horizontal pipeline. The
process line still provides full passage and allows easy
cleaning at any time.
In closed valve position, the handlever is in its initial
vertical position, assured by a mechanical stop.
In order to prevent any unauthorized operation, the
lever can be equipped with a safety padlock.
Valve in opened position for sampling
Liquid product flows through the process system. For
taking out a sample, handlever is rotated counter-
clockwise, i.e. 90° (opt. 180°) towards the mechanical
stop.
Thus, the entire volume of the sampling ball is being
filled with product.
After a few seconds, lever is rotated 90° downwards
into its initial position. Trapped media is moved down-
wards in order to flow into the lab bottle as a repre-
sentative sample.
Depending on the required volume, sampling proce-
dure has to be repeated accordingly.
Applications
The SSV-B Inline Sampling Ball Valve is ideally suited when viscous or even solids-containing media has to
be handled.
