Standard Practice for Sampling Pressurized Gas for Gas Analysis

ABSTRACT
This practice describes the procedure for obtaining a sample of pressurized gas for gas analysis from a system or component. A sample pressure vessel shall be evacuated and sealed with a minimum vacuum pressure. The vessel shall then be attached to the designated pressurized sample port. The pressurized gas is allowed to enter the sample vessel until the pressure is equal to the pressure of the system or component. The pressure shall be secured and the sample vessel assigned for appropriate analysis. The apparatus shall consist of connecting lines, miscellaneous fittings, tie-downs, and a gas sample vessel.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice describes the procedure for obtaining a sample of pressurized gas for gas analysis from a system or component.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For hazard statement, see Section 5.
