AUTOMATED TANK SAMPLER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189929 titled 'AUTOMATED TANK SAMPLER SYSTEM
The abstract describes a system for a fluid tank with an opening, consisting of a head unit, a sample vessel, a transport mechanism, and a controller. The head unit connects to the opening and houses the sample vessel, which includes a sample chamber with a valve for fluid communication. The transport mechanism moves the sample vessel between positions within the tank, allowing the controller to actuate the sample valve at specific levels.
- The system includes a head unit, sample vessel, transport mechanism, and controller.
- The head unit connects to the tank opening and houses the sample vessel.
- The sample vessel has a chamber with a valve for fluid communication.
- A transport mechanism moves the sample vessel within the tank.
- The controller actuates the sample valve at specific levels in the tank.
Potential Applications: - Industrial fluid processing - Laboratory testing and analysis - Chemical mixing and blending processes
Problems Solved: - Efficient sampling and testing of fluids in tanks - Automation of fluid level monitoring and control - Streamlining of fluid handling processes

Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Fluid Sampling System for Industrial Tanks This technology can be utilized in various industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing for automated fluid sampling and testing. The system can improve efficiency, accuracy, and safety in fluid handling processes, leading to cost savings and enhanced productivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure accurate fluid sampling in different tank levels? 2. What are the key advantages of using this automated sampling system in industrial applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
A sample system for a fluid tank with an opening includes: a head unit, a sample vessel, a transport mechanism, and a controller. The head unit has a hollow body with a head connection that connects to the opening. The sample vessel includes a first sample chamber with a first sample valve disposed in a vessel body that fits within the hollow body. A first sample valve of the sample mechanism actuates to provide fluid communication to the first sample chamber. The transport mechanism connects to the head unit and the sample vessel, and moves the sample vessel between a home position and a first position. In the home position, the sample vessel is positioned within the hollow body. In the first position the sample vessel is lowered to a first level in the fluid tank, at which point the controller actuates the first sample valve.
