inFlow™ (Fixed) Crude Oil Extractor

Fixed-insertion isokinetic sampling for small main lines, bypass lines, and LACT units

The Welker inFlow™ Fixed Crude Oil Extractor is a fixed-insertion liquid hydrocarbon sampler designed for bypass or main line isokinetic composite sampling of crude oil, condensate, and other liquid hydrocarbons. Sized for 2–4 inch sample lines, small main lines, separator outlets, and Lease Automatic Custody Transfer, or LACT units, the inFlow™ Fixed reaches the center one-third of the pipeline to support representative sample collection via direct-mount or with a pipe spool. With fixed or adjustable positive displacement collection heads, a double-acting piston motor, Welker Volume Eliminator, inline relief, optional pipe spool with static mixer, optional sand reliefs, and optional Welker Purge Tube, this compact crude oil sampler helps improve sample accuracy for truck loading, rail car loading, and liquid hydrocarbon transfer applications.

Where to Use
Small Line Liquid Hydrocarbon Sampling Bypass or main line isokinetic composite sampling of crude oil, condensate, and other liquid hydrocarbons on 2–4 inch lines.
Separator Outlet Sampling Designed for representative sampling downstream of a separator where compact fixed insertion is preferred.
LACT Unit Sampling Supports crude oil sampling on Lease Automatic Custody Transfer units for truck and rail car loading and unloading.
Sample
Complies with: API 8.2 ASTM D4177 ISO 3171
Resources

Double-Acting Piston Motor

Provides the power needed to sample high-viscosity crude oil and liquid hydrocarbons.

Fixed Insertion

Reaches the center one-third of small main lines or bypass lines for representative isokinetic sample collection.

Fixed or Adjustable Volume Positive Displacement Collection Heads

Captures and fully pushes sample grabs to the container, with adjustable options for larger grabs on smaller volume batches.

Welker Volume Eliminator

Minimizes sample retention and helps keep residual product inside the sampler to a minimum.

Collection Head With Inline Relief

Helps prevent collected samples from flowing back into the pipeline if pipeline pressure drops.

Optional Pipe Spool With or Without Mixer

Improves sample accuracy on LACT units and can provide an integrated static mixer so a homogeneous product stream reaches the sampler.

Optional Sand Reliefs

Supports sampling of products containing BS&W while helping reduce additional wear.

Optional Welker Purge Tube

Purges trapped liquid from the collection head to the sample container to support a complete composite sample and reduce batch cross-contamination.
