Safer collection and transport of large-volume gas samples

Gas sample bottles are used primarily for well test separator sampling during production testing. During oil, gas condensate, and wet gas testing, separator gas samples are matched with the oil or condensate samples collected under identical separator conditions for physical recombination at the PVT laboratory. The large-volume capacity ensures the storage of sufficient gas from a single sample for a complete PVT recombination study under most separator conditions.

The bottles are made from aluminum for strength and resistance to both corrosion and metal fatigue. Weldless design facilitates inspection and simplifies maintenance. Aluminum makes the gas sample bottle 40% lighter than comparable steel cylinders for ease in handling and lower transportation cost.
