Yes, you can install a QualiTru stainless steel port on a straight pipe or a T. However, the preferred sampling location is at an elbow because the turbulent flow allows for a more representative sample to be obtained. An elbow location also allows for proper CIP cleaning. Inline samples are aseptically gathered to detect microbial contamination in raw fluids and verify components in liquids. The system is also used in overall product quality assurance testing, allowing for universal sample collection from bulk or silo tanks after agitation. QualiTru Systems can be used to collect representative samples of milk while the truck is being unloaded at the receiving bay, as well as at critical control points throughout the process for performing diagnostics, system quality checks, CIP cleanliness checks, and to gather samples for overall milk quality testing. In cheesemaking, the system may be used for collecting aseptic and representative samples to perform whey analysis for regulatory or quality testing, as well as to perform process monitoring and solids analysis.
