<p>The invention relates to a sampling valve for drawing samples from a tank containing easily contaminated liquids. The valve closure member is of a material that is pierceable by a hypodermic needle. An outlet port is arranged so that a hypodermic needle may be inserted through such port and likewise through the closure member and the valve seat while the closure member closingly engages the valve seat. A sample is thus drawable through the hypodermic needle despite the valve being otherwise closed by reason of the closure member being in engagement with the valve seat.</p> |
