  1. The stainless steel sample transit cylinders are the ideal device for your sampling needs.  It allows you to accurately capture air within a pressured system and transport it between facilities, while maintaining the best sample integrity.
  2. Our sampling cylinders are designed and assembled to capture samples of compressed gases.  They met DOT (3E) and TC-3EM specifications and are equipped with rupture valves, pressure gauges, have simple connectors to allow for easy connection to the outlet of a compressor and have maximum pressure levels clearly labelled.
  3. The are the only available gas sampling unit that ensure a total representative sample is collected for analysis.  Other commercially available units do not.
  4. Bureau Veritas Laboratories collaboration with the Canadian Standards Association was integral in the design of the recognized industry standard unit for compressed gas sampling.

All cylinders are assembled and certified prior to each use and shipped in a protective foam lined case.
