Ammonia Sampler Increases Operator Safety

ammonia sampler tests the water content in anhydrous ammonia in hazardous applications

This ammonia sampler tests the water content in anhydrous ammonia in hazardous applications, including fertilizers, plastics, textiles, and petroleum manufacturing. By using closed sample fixtures and allowing operators to monitor ammonia concentration in-house, this sampler reduces the likelihood of ammonia exposure and the dangers of transporting samples to a lab. To increase safety, the sampler can be installed directly at the sample point. Each test takes about two hours, reducing the standard eight or more hours needed for lab testing, and automated testing removes the possibility of operator error.
