Process Sampling: Obtaining samples

Sampling is an important task performed to determine product quality. Operators routinely sample process fluids and solids at various stages of the production process. This activity explains why samples are taken in process systems, describes information that is typically included on a sample label, and describes how to obtain contaminant-free representative samples of process liquids, solids, and process gases.
