Mustang® TrueProbe® Sample Extractor

The Mustang  TrueProbe sample extractor extracts a wet natural gas sample where it contacts a cylindrical cross-flow membrane filter.  A hollow Teflon filter blocks all liquid and particulates allowing clean, dry sample gas to pass through to the head of the probe to provide a moisture-free, representative gas sample to an analyzer.  

The Mustang True Probe design takes advantage of Bernoulli’s Principle of fluid dynamics to provide an internal fast loop within the probe. Continuous gas analysis of wet sample streams has always presented a challenge in the natural gas industry.  Condensed moisture in the sample line can result in corrosion, measurement error, continual maintenance costs, and damage to the analyzer.  The Mustang True Probe provides reliable protection of valuable analytical equipment  from moisture.
