Description
The 102371-04 Sample Tube is an essential component commonly used in various industrial and laboratory applications, particularly in fields such as environmental monitoring, chemical analysis, and gas detection. This sample tube is designed to facilitate the collection and transportation of samples, gases, or fluids from one location to another. Here's a detailed description of the 102371-04 Sample Tube:
- Material: The sample tube is typically constructed from a durable and chemically resistant material, often selected based on the specific applications it will be used for. Common materials include flexible plastic, rubber, or stainless steel, depending on the compatibility requirements.
- Length: The 102371-04 Sample Tube has a standardized length of 5 feet (approximately 1.52 meters). This length is suitable for many applications and allows for the convenient transfer of samples over moderate distances.
- Inner Diameter: Sample tubes come in various inner diameter sizes to accommodate different sample volumes and flow rates. The inner diameter of this particular sample tube may vary depending on its intended use, but it is designed to meet the specific requirements of the application.
- Applications: Sample tubes like the 102371-04 are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. They are commonly employed in environmental monitoring to collect air or water samples, in laboratory settings for chemical analysis, and in industrial processes for sampling gases or liquids.
- Compatibility: It's crucial to ensure that the sample tube is compatible with the substances it will come into contact with. Compatibility considerations include resistance to chemical corrosion, temperature extremes, and pressure variations to maintain sample integrity.
- Connectors: Sample tubes often feature connectors or fittings at both ends to facilitate secure connections to sampling devices, sensors, or collection containers. These connectors ensure airtight and leak-free sample transfer.
- Sampling Procedure: To use the 102371-04 Sample Tube, it is typically connected to the sampling point or device at one end and to the collection or analysis equipment at the other end. The substance of interest is then drawn through the tube for analysis or measurement.
- Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of the sample tube are essential to ensure its proper functionality and to prevent contamination or sample loss. Cleaning and replacing tubes as needed is part of good laboratory and industrial practices.
