GAS SAMPLER/COLLECTOR FOR A MIXTURE OF GASSES

摘要

A gas sampler for sampling a mixture of gasses such as air having toxic gasses or other contaminants, utilizing a vessel with liquid therein as the scrubbing media. The closed vessel comprises intake and exhaust openings for the passage of the sampled gas through the liquid. A hydrophobic porous material sealing the inlet and outlet openings retains the liquid in the vessel without hinderance to the passage of the sampled gas through the liquid. In a preferred embodiment, the vessel comprises a rugged constructed elongated glass tube with open ends. Intermediate the inside of the cap and the open ends of the vessel is positioned the porous hydrophobic material. An operable hydrophobic membrane and alternate capping structures are also disclosed.
