Configurable, Local, and Reliable Grab Sampling Solutions
Grab sampling involves extracting a sample from a process, in real time, and bringing it back to a lab to either confirm or diagnose an issue with the actual processing unit. Poor sampling system design can lead to unrepresentative samples, unsafe conditions, and unnecessary maintenance. As a leading global provider of high-quality fluid system products and services we are uniquely capable of providing you with safe and easy to operate grab sampling solutions.
Swagelok has developed a wide range of grab sampling panels to address your needs for:
Grab Sample Module
The Swagelok grab sample module (GSM) is a sampling panel that uses sealed, metal, pressure-containing cylinders to capture either liquid or gas.
- The continuous flow configurations allow the sample transport lines to continue flowing while sampling
- The GSM left in the bypass or sample position indefinitely keeps transport lines fresh and ready for sample capture
- A grab sampling cylinder (GSC) is docked, and process fluid is continuously circulated within to maintain process conditions
Grab Sample Liquid Systems
The Swagelok grab sample liquid (GSL) is a liquid-only sampling system for drawing fluid in a non-pressure containing bottle with a self-sealing septum cap.
- The GSL can use lower-cost glass or polyethylene laboratory bottles to draw and store samples
- Using bottles can provide immediate feedback on the visual quality of the sample stream
- Samples can be drawn and transported without the risk of spillage or evaporation
Local Capability for Customizing to Your Specifications
Regardless of which type of grab sampling system you need, we can provide you with accurate, safe grab sample systems customized to your specifications. Customizing will include:
- Assessment of your current system
- A panel recommendation to meet your needs
- Configuring our standard panel to your specifications
- Assembly and testing of the new system
- Training your technicians
Our systems can include a variety of accessories to suit your operations including:
- Instrumentation
- Sample coolers

- Exotic alloys
- Enclosures with heating options
- Different mounting options
Don't know what you need? Our evaluation is quick and easy. We'll work closely with you to determine the type of enclosure or panel and the proper configuration to meet your sampling needs. During this process, our team of experienced fluid system specialists can provide the following:
- An evaluation of your current sampling system and assessment of your needs
- A thorough analysis conducted by our field engineering team to detect and fix sampling deficiencies
- Suggestions for improved operational performance
- Mitigation of potential safety and environmental concerns
- A sample enclosure or panel recommendation based on needs for: temperature, pressure, phase, container type, materials, and installation location
Let us help you determine the right configuration for your sampling needs.
Training for Grab Sampling System Success
Having well-trained grab sampling technicians is important to operating and maintaining your systems. While we will train your team on how to operate any new system once the panels are assembled, we also offer additional training classes.
Consider enabling your team to better prevent, diagnose, and eliminate costly issues with these local, hands-on grab sampling training classes taught by industry experts:
- Process Analyzer Sampling System (PASS): Gain a high-level understanding of sampling systems while designing and building an optimized system that delivers timely, accurate results.
- Sampling System Problem Solving and Maintenance (SSM): Learn how to troubleshoot a variety of common and complex design issues from the process line through sample disposal.
