HI FLOW SAMPLER
TAKING LEAK
DETECTION TO
A NEW DIMENSION
The Hi Flow Sampler is a portable, intrinsically safe, battery-powered instrument designed to determine
the rate of gas leakage around various pipefittings, valve packings, and compressor seals found in natural
gas transmission, storage, and compressor facilities. This is accomplished by sampling at a large flow rate
(between 5 and 10.5 cfm) to completely capture all the gas leaking from the component along with a certain
amount of air. By accurately measuring the flow rate of the sampling stream and the natural gas
concentration within that stream, the gas leak rate can be calculated. The instrument automatically
compensates for the different specific gravity values of air and natural gas, thus assuring accurate flow rate
calculations.
Why Use the Hi Flow Sampler?
