The SENSOR Inline Valve Sampling System (IVSS) by SOR Controls Group installs directly into existing 1", 2", or 3" horizontal or vertical process piping without requiring a pump, pressure differential, or external bypass circulation loop. Specifically engineered for specialty chemical facilities, batch synthesis reactors, and high-purity process lines, the IVSS guarantees homogeneous, uncontaminated grab sample collection while shielding operating personnel from chemical exposure. The system features a spring-loaded pull-type deadman lever that gives operators smooth, precision throttling control over the container fill rate; releasing the handle instantly snaps the internal valve shut, forming a bubble-tight seal. An integrated weep hole located above the stem packing provides immediate visual early warning of seal wear prior to fugitive atmospheric release. Available in Wafer (sandwiched between pipe flanges) or Inline Flanged configurations with customizable face-to-face dimensions, threaded PTFE bottle adapters, or dual-needle septum shrouds.
Installs directly into 1", 2", or 3" horizontal or vertical piping without fast loop or differential pressure
Available in Wafer style (between flanges) or Inline Flanged body with custom face-to-face dimensions
Spring-loaded deadman throttle handle provides smooth flow rate control and automatic fail-safe shutoff
Lockable handle with safety insertion pin prevents accidental valve actuation and facilitates lock-out/tag-out (LOTO)

Model Coding Architecture
Remove lockout insertion pin and position sample container under adapter before pulling operating handle.
Pull handle gently to throttle liquid flow rate into bottle; release immediately once desired volume is reached.
Inspect stem weep hole periodically; any liquid droplet presence indicates need for packing nut adjustment or repack.
Re-insert safety lockout pin into handle assembly after sampling is completed to lock valve closed.
In specialty chemical plants and batch production reactors, installing dedicated pump loops or differential-pressure orifice runs for sampling is frequently impractical. Using standard sample taps off pipe tees creates large stagnant dead legs that trap old product, yielding non-representative samples and wasting valuable chemical batches during extended line purging.
The SENSOR IVSS resolves this by placing the sampling orifice directly inside the pipeline cross-section. The streamlined valve trim draws a fresh, homogeneous sample directly from the flowing stream without requiring any pressure differential across the pipe.
Wafer design slips easily between existing pipe flanges without altering piping centerline elevations
Inline flanged body matches specific plant face-to-face dimensions for effortless drop-in valve replacement
Zero dead-volume design eliminates product waste and lengthy pre-sample purging requirements
Homogeneous grab sampling ensures laboratory analytics accurately match reactor batch status
