Patent ID: 8468899

Claim:
The method of sampling a gas stream having entrained liquid therein in a pipeline, comprising the steps of: ai. Providing a sample container having a length having first and second ends forming a passage therebetween, said length of said sample container formed to selectively fit within said pipeline; aii. Providing a support engaging said sample container, said support formed to selectively direct said sample container into and out of said pipeline; aiii. said sample container and support having a streamlined profile; b. positioning said support so as to position said sample container into said gas stream such that said length of said sample container is aligned with said gas stream so as to minimize flow disturbance; c. allowing said gas stream to pass into said first end of said sample container, through said passage, and out of said second end, providing isokinetic flow through said sample container, while providing sample fluid contents there between; d. blocking said first and second ends of said sample container so as to contain said sample fluid contents within the passage of said sample container, providing an enclosed sample container containing a sample.
