Closed Circuit Fuel Samplers.

Visual Check Fuel Sampler. Fuel Samplers. VCFS

Specification The Visual Check Fuel Sampler (VCFS) is a closed circuit fuel sampling system designed to provide a safe, easy and convenient method of carrying out the industry standard Clear & Bright visual examination of aviation fuel. The vessel consists of a strong, clear glass tube sandwiched between a base and a hinged lid assembly. The base incorporates a drain valve, a fill port, a hydrokit sampler draw off connection and a mounting flange. The internal surface of the base is conical in profile and finished in a white epoxy coating to assist visual detection of free water and/or dirt particles. The fill port is designed to cause the fuel sample to swirl around the sides of the glass tube; the resultant vortexing effect causes any solid contaminants to concentrate towards the centre of the glass to assist visual detection. The mechanical design of the VCFS prevents vibration and thermal expansion from overstressing the glass tube. The hinged lid is large enough to allow a hand to reach inside the VCFS to enable the glass tube and base to be wiped clean for ease of maintenance and assured performance. All vessels are offered with a range of options allowing bespoke functionality for the end user. Applications : Provides a Clear & Bright visual examination of fuel.  Enables the temperature and density of a sample to be measured (with optional thermometer, hydrometer and housing). Enables the dryness of the sample to be checked using the Shell Water Detector or the Exxon Hydrokit (with optional self sealing valve). Capacities Available Standard units are 2, 3.3, 4, 6 and 8 litres. Features  Alumium body, Boron silicate glass.  High Nitrile Seals. Options  Thermometer and hydrometer housing.  Self-sealing valve for Shell Water (Detector or Exxon Hydrokit).  Flameproof backlamp and shroud.  Spring-close (deadman type) VCFS fill Valve.

Closed Circuit Visual Check Fuel Sampler (VCFS)

Product Id: 11509

Specification The Visual Check Fuel Sampler (VCFS) is a closed circuit fuel sampling system designed to provide a safe, easy and convenient method of carrying out the industry standard Clear & Bright  visual examination of aviation fuel. The 80 (21 Gal) and 160 (42.5 Gal) litre VCFS are the latest addition to our range designed specifically for fixed installations where larger sample volumes are required. The vessel consists of a strong borosilcate clear glass tube sandwiched between a base and latched lid assembly. The mechanical design of the VCFS prevents vibration or thermal expansion from over stressing the glass tube. The latched lid provides access to enable the glass tube and base to be wiped clean for ease of maintenance and assured performance. The internal surface of the base is conical in profile and finished in a white epoxy coating to assist visual detection of free water and/or dirt particles. The fill port is designed to cause the fuel sample to swirl around the sides of the glass tube; the resultant vortex effect causes any solid contaminants to concentrate towards the centre of the glass to assist visual detection. The base incorporates a drain valve, a fill port, a Kydrokit  sampler draw-off connection and a mounting flange. An integral emptying valve is built into the base of the VCFS and can be connected to either a gravity line or to hand operated pump for emptying. (It is assumed that the drain line will be routed to a suitable product recovery tank or waste product tank). 80 (21 Gal) and 160 (42.5 Gal) Visual Fuel Sampler Applications Provides a Clear & Bright  visual examination of fuel. Typical unit for taking samples from free-standing static fuel filter water separators. Features  Material - Aluminium body, boron silicate glass.  Seals  High nitrile rubber Options 1. The temperature and density of a sample can be measured (with optional thermometer, hydrometer and housing). 2. The dryness of the sample can be checked using the Shell Water Detector or the Exxon Hydrokit (via an optional self-sealing valve). 3. A flameproof back lamp and shroud are available for night operations. 4. Spring close (Deadman type) VCFS fill valve. 5. Hand pump and non-return valve (necessary if the VCFS cannot be drained under gravity).
