Steam Cleaner

Clean sample cylinders thoroughly before collection to help protect sample accuracy

The Welker Steam Cleaner is a laboratory sample cylinder cleaning system designed to remove residual impurities from multiple non-passivated, double-ended sample cylinders before sample collection. Built for natural gas and hydrocarbon sampling programs, the Steam Cleaner uses wet steam to dissolve and flush contaminants, dry steam to bake away remaining residue, and a vacuum pump to void cylinders before use. With dual manifolds, multi-cylinder capacity, steam traps, and optional Welker Sight Glasses, the system helps improve sample accuracy, reduce contamination risk, and save time by cleaning multiple sample cylinders at once.

Where to Use
Laboratory Sample Cylinder Cleaning Cleans and removes residual impurities from multiple non-passivated, double-ended sample cylinders before natural gas or hydrocarbon sample collection
Natural Gas Sampling Programs Supports accurate sample analysis by helping prevent contaminated cylinders from affecting natural gas sampling results
High-Volume Cylinder Maintenance Allows labs and service teams to clean multiple sample cylinders at once for faster turnaround and more efficient sampling operations
Condition
Complies with: API 14.1 GPA 2166 ISO 10715 AGA Manual

Dual Manifolds With Multi-Cylinder Capacity

Cleans multiple double-ended sample cylinders simultaneously to help reduce cleaning time, labor, and operational cost.

Steam Generator for Wet Cycle

Uses wet steam to evenly heat cylinder surfaces, dissolve residual impurities, and flush contaminants from the sample cylinder.

Steam Separator for Dry Cycle

Produces dry steam to bake away remaining residue and dry the cylinder after the wet cleaning cycle.

Vacuum Pump to Void Sample Cylinders

Helps fully remove residual liquids and prepare cylinders for accurate sample collection.

Steam Traps

Collect and safely discharge wet steam during the cleaning process for safer, more controlled operation.

Optional Welker Sight Glasses

Allow operators to visually confirm the discharge of condensed wet steam during cylinder cleaning.
