Problem with Sampling ball valves

The most important drawback of Sampling ball valves is the cavity in the ball itself. It is impossible to make sure the cavity is clean and no cross-contamination occurs. It’s very likely that residue will be left in the ball, no matter the position of it.

There are toxic fumes, a lot of PPE and operators don't really like it (who can blame them when all they know are complicated wobbly sample panels!) That's until they've tried an Inline Sample Valve by BIAR Sampling Systems & BIAR Sampling - North America.
