A sampling device 12 comprises a mounting body 16 connectable to a fluid container 10 for housing a fluid requiring sampling. The mounting body 16 has a fluid-sample flow passage 30 opening into a connector recess 36; a sample-tube connector 40 engaged with the connector recess 36; and a sample tube 32 which extends from a distal end of the sample-tube connector 40 and tightly engages with the fluid-sample flow passage 30. A cavity 48 thus defined by the connector recess 36 and the distal end of the sample-tube connector 40 is bridged by the sample tube 32. The bridging prevents or limits contamination of a fluid sample extracted from a fluid flow in a fluid container 10 to which the device 12 is attached. The fluid container may be an elongate hollow tubular body for transporting a hazardous fluid. |
