SAMPLING OF FLAMMABLE LIQUEFIED GAS

摘要

The invention relates to a sampling container (13) for taking samples from a tank containing a flammable liquefield gas. The container (13) comprises an inlet opening and an outlet opening, at least two valves (15, 16) for operating the openings, and a connector at the inlet opening for establishing fluid communication with the tank. A nozzle (18) which communicates with the inlet opening and which suppresses the splashing of liquefied gas flowing into the sampling container and hence the build-up of static electricity. The invention further pertains to an apparatus for taking samples from a tank containing a flammable liquefied gas, comprising a first connector-counterpart (5, 11) for receiving the connector of the sampling container.
