Sampling systems shrink to fit

A Jiskoot product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 20, 2004

Smaller is better when it comes to sampling system probes and the significant size reductions seen in the development of probes over the years is well illustrated by Jiskoot.

Smaller is better when it comes to sampling system probes and the significant size reductions seen in the development of probes over the years is well illustrated by Jiskoot.

It started in 1974 when BP approached Jiskoot to design and license a sampling system.

Jiskoot developed the Series 300 as its entry into the crude oil sampling business.

Next, in recognising that sampling was more than physical extraction of oil from a pipeline, Jiskoot developed and patented Jet mixing in 1978.

In 1981 BP again approached Jiskoot, asking for the manufacture and license of an "inline" sample probe, and providing a design known as the "red probe".

Jiskoot then released its Series 200 sample probe.

This evolved into the 250 Series, many of which exist through to the last incarnation as the 210 Series, which has moved through three model revisions to the current Mk III.

Reductions in size are a major factor in this development trail.

Another one is the vast number deployed and their longevity.

The record number of operations reported on a single seal set is in the order of an amazing 13 million and a 9-year service interval, which is definitely not Jiskoot's recommendation.

The current Jiskoot sampling system versions are relied on for valuation of crude oil cargos by the majority of the world's main shipment terminals.
