Reliable Grab Sampling Systems for Gas and Liquid Service
We offer fully configurable, locally built and supported, and reliable grab sampling assemblies in a variety of configurations with advanced features intended to help you safely capture representative samples of liquid or gas from your process lines. Whether you want closed-loop sampling into pressure-rated sample cylinders or simply want to collect process fluid into lower-cost glass laboratory bottles for analysis, we offer ideal sampling panel options that are safe, intuitive, easy to maintain and can be ordered as a single part number.
Grab Sample Modules (GSM)
The Swagelok® grab sample module (GSM) is a closed-looped sampling system that pulls from a positive-pressure process and returns back to the process at a lower pressure location (e.g., upstream of a pump) by using differential pressure to drive the fluid through the system. Samples are deposited into durable, pressure-rated metal grab sampling cylinders (GSC) that prevent the sample from escaping, protecting operators.
A key feature of the GSM is the switching valve that directs flow. Using the Swagelok 40G series ball valve for this switching valve, configurations are available with either 2 or 3 valves. This allows for simultaneous control of fluid routing, reducing the number of steps required to draw a sample.
Grab Sample Liquid Systems (GSL)
The Swagelok® grab sample liquid (GSL) is a liquid-only sampling system for drawing fluid into a non-pressure-containing bottle with a self-sealing septum cap in applications where the process fluid is not at risk of fractionating when stored at atmospheric pressure.
Swagelok GSL systems use the same switching valve as a GSM system to provide simplified operation for complex tasks. The GSL systems also include Sentry Equipment’s Model MVS to draw a sample into a bottle. GSL systems are assembled with Swagelok tube fittings.

FAQs about Grab Sampling System Malaysia
How does grab sampling differ from continuous sampling?
Grab sampling involves collecting a single, discrete sample at a specific time, representing the process conditions at that moment. In contrast, continuous sampling provides a real-time stream of data over a period, offering a comprehensive view of process variations. Grab sampling is ideal for situations requiring detailed analysis of specific points in time or locations.
What makes a grab sampling technique reliable?
The reliability of a grab sampling technique depends on factors such as the design of the system, the quality of components used, and adherence to correct sampling procedures. Swagelok Malaysia ensures reliability through precision-engineered systems, corrosion-resistant materials, and customizable configurations to meet industry-specific needs.
Does Swagelok Malaysia provide training about the Grab Sampling Method in Process Analysis?
Yes, Swagelok Malaysia offers comprehensive training on grab sampling methods. Our training programs are designed to help operators understand system functionalities, best practices for sampling, and maintenance techniques, ensuring optimal performance and accurate results in process analysis.
