Swagelok Grab Sampling Systems
Swagelok Western New York offers reliable, fully configurable, locally built and supported grab sampling solutions. Available in a variety of configurations, each system is built with advanced features intended to help you safely capture representative samples of liquid or gas from your process lines.
Modular Gas Distribution Subsystems

Grab Sample Modules (GSM)
The Swagelok® grab sample module (GSM) is a sampling panel that uses sealed, metal, pressure-containing cylinders to capture either liquid or gas. This closed-loop sampling system uses differential pressure to drive fluid through the sampling system, ensuring fluid is fresh and ready for sample capture.
- The continuous flow configurations allow the sample transport lines to continue flowing while sampling.
- The GSM left in the bypass or sample position indefinitely keeps transport lines fresh and ready for sample capture.
- A grab sampling cylinder (GSC) is docked, and process fluid is continuously circulated within to maintain process conditions.

Grab Sample Liquid Systems (GSL)
The Swagelok® grab sample liquid (GSL) is a liquid-only sampling system for drawing fluid into a non-pressure-containing laboratory bottle with a self-sealing septum cap in applications where the process fluid is not as risk of fractionating or evaporating when stored at atmospheric pressure.
- The GSL can use lower-cost glass or polyethylene laboratory bottles to draw and store samples.
- Using bottles can provide immediate feedback on the visual quality of the sample stream
- Samples can be drawn and transported without the risk of spillage or evaporation
