Manual Sampling Systems

LS Series Liquid Samplers

Spirare Energy offers high-precision LS Series Liquid Samplers engineered for closed-loop representative sampling of liquids across refining, chemical, and petrochemical industries. Designed to handle hazardous, volatile, or toxic liquids safely, the LS Series eliminates atmospheric emissions and protects plant operators from volatile organic compound (VOC) exposure.

Operating at media pressures below 8 Bar.g (115 psig) and vapor pressures below 0.7 Bar.g (10 psig), the LS Series utilizes a sealed septum bottle with dual-needle dispensing to maintain full containment before, during, and after sample extraction. Standard wetted parts are manufactured in SS 316/316L with exotic alloy options available for corrosive chemical services.

Available in seven engineered configurations (LS1 through LS7) ranging from basic on/off sampling to advanced fast-loop bypass systems with inert gas needle purging and reverse flow line back-purging, Spirare Energy delivers custom sampling solutions configured to meet strict international process safety standards.
