Sampling Valves
Sampling Valves are valves dedicated to drawing a live sample from process piping. They can also inject a substance into a process. Sample valves are widely used in industrial processes involving liquids and gases to extract samples, facilitate quantitative analysis at various stages, and ensure product quality meets standards. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and food processing often rely on our sampling valves for their quality control processes.
Pharmaceutical and biotech facilities rely on sanitary sample valves to support sterile processing environments and maintain consistent product quality in high-purity applications. Reliable sampling valve solutions help support process integrity and quality assurance requirements throughout production.
Strahman Sample Valves eliminate the pitfalls of typical sample extraction methods. They extract fluid directly from the pipeline, safely capturing live product samples without failure under pressure or high-vacuum conditions, and without interrupting the process. They provide true live product sampling for batch production.
Traditional sample valves can create contamination concerns or interrupt critical processing operations. Strahman sanitary sample valves feature a non-clogging, no dead-space design that supports safe and repeatable sample extraction in demanding environments.
Soft Seated SV series
The original Piston Valve, our Soft Seated SV series, offers a range of end connections for easy installation: Sample Valve with NPT connection, Sample Valve with Flange connection, and Sample Valve with Insert connection. All have a non-clogging design (no dead space) and an opening indicator for safe user extraction. The Soft Seated SV series provides a reliable live sample as the one-piece piston fills the valve cavity. It is not just for sampling and injection applications, but can also be customized to meet the unique needs of your entire facility, empowering you to have full control over your processes.
This is commonly used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech processing, and other high-purity applications where contamination control and accurate sample collection are essential. These piston-type sampling valves support dependable process monitoring in regulated environments.
Metal Seated series
Our MS series is essentially the same as our standard SV Series, but is suitable for applications that require ANSI Class 600 and ANSI 1500, and for temperature ranges from -330°F to a maximum of 1000°F. This makes it ideal for industries that operate in extreme temperature conditions, such as oil and gas or chemical processing. The MS series is one of several sample valve types designed for applications requiring reliable performance under extreme temperatures and pressures.
Soft Seated SV Series with Insert Flange
The Insert Flange is welded to the body of the Sample Valve and connects to an existing flange-to-flange piping connection, eliminating the need to cut or weld into the pipeline. This sampling valve configuration can help reduce installation time during maintenance or system upgrades.
Quick Sample QS series
The QS Series has many features of our standard Sample Valve, the Soft Seated SV Series, but with a spring-loaded fail-safe design–a plunger-style piston valve and a quarter-turn for a quick release. The QS Series is an excellent valve for extracting or injecting a media sample quickly and easily. It is ideal for applications requiring fast and efficient sample extraction while maintaining process conditions.
Quick Advance QA Series
Our QA series features the same attributes as our standard Sampling Valve, Soft Seated SV series, but with a quick open and close feature. The QA series uses a rack and gear combination to maintain the piston’s linear motion and provides the valve with a full piston design while traveling just 1/3 turn. It supports efficient quality control procedures through faster and more consistent sample collection. This results in less time and labor required to collect a valid sample.
