Process Analyzer Sample Probe Assembly (SPA)

with Conax Buffalo Packing Gland (PG)

Sample Probe with Welded Stop Collar and Angled End for
On-Line Extraction of Process Liquids or Gases

The Conax Buffalo Sample Probe Assembly (SPA) is used to hot-tap a sample probe into a process through a process
isolation valve as depicted below.
Optional materials for the Sample Probe and the Conax Buffalo Packing Gland body (wetted components) are available.
Refer to the Conax Pressure and Vacuum Sealing Assemblies Catalog #5001B or our website for available options such as:
316L SST Monel 405
316 NACE SST Hastelloy C276
316L CRN (gland body only) Inconel 600
Refer to the Conax Pressure and Vacuum Sealing Assemblies Catalog #5001B for temperature and pressure ratings
for static conditions. Pressure ratings are reduced when the sealing gland cap is loosened to allow for the inser-
tion or extraction of the Sample Probe.
