Bacon Bomb Sample Thief Slim Model 4oz (118ml) Plated Brass K27760

Test Method Standards
All samplers conform to ASTM D4057 (formerly ASTM D270), D6074 or ASTM D1265 specifications.

Sample Thief (Bacon Bomb)

• Obtains bottom samples or samples from any level
• Four different capacities
• Plated brass, stainless steel or acrylic construction
• Standard Viton O-ring seal
• Optional metal-to-metal seal

Obtains samples from storage tanks, tank cars and drums. When the thief strikes the bottom of the tank, a plunger assembly opens to admit the sample. The plunger closes again when the bomb is withdrawn, forming a tight seal. Samples can be taken at any depth with the use of a secondary trip line, or extension rods may be added for obtaining samples at levels of up to 18″(46cm) off the bottom. Equipped with plunger locking cam for tight closure during transport (except for 4 oz 11 ⁄8″ dia. model). Special models include a 4 oz (118mL) ‘pencil’ model for sampling through small diameter pipes and openings, and clear acrylic samplers with plated brass plunger and end pieces. Modified samplers can be supplied for special applications.

All-Levels Sample Thief
Similar to the standard 16 oz (473mL) Sample Thief (Bacon Bomb), but equipped with an adjustable needle valve opening instead of a plunger to control rate of flow during ‘all-levels’ and ‘running’ sampling from storage tanks. Plated brass construction.

Adjustable-Level Sample Thief
Takes samples at depths up to 12″ (30.5cm) from bottom. Similar to the standard 16 oz (473mL) Sample Thief (Bacon Bomb), but with built-in graduated extension rod adjustable between 0-12″ (30.5cm). Plated brass construction.
