Application Industry:
The American Sigma 950 series samplers include three designs: portable samplers, refrigerated samplers, and all-weather samplers. They are mainly used in wastewater sampling, specimen collection, industrial pretreatment sampling, environmental monitoring, stormwater sampling, and other industries.
Instrument Features:
-
1) Sampling made easy
-
The AS950 series samplers can be programmed with composite sampling routines and run automatically.
-
2) Convenient data transfer
-
The AS950 sampler is one of the few products on the market that can use USB to upload and download data and copy programs to another sampler.
-
3) Simple and intuitive operation
-
The AS950 sampler features an extra-large full-color display and an intuitive operating interface, allowing all programs in the menu to be displayed on the same screen without scrolling through menus, supporting error-free operation.
-
4) Easy maintenance and low cost
-
The AS950 sampler features a unique spring-loaded roller design that extends service life and reduces maintenance costs; the desiccant and pump tubing can be easily removed and replaced without any tools; and quick visual inspection is possible through the sturdy transparent pump cover.
-
5) Trustworthy sampling process
-
The program status screen displays alarm conditions, missed samples, and program progress in real time, making troubleshooting faster and easier.
-
6) Compact or discrete sampling can be switched on site
-
The AS950 portable sampler can quickly switch between composite sampling and discrete sampling during on-site operation.
Technical Specifications
Portable Sampler
-
Dual Program Up to two sampling programs can run sequentially, in parallel, or according to a weekly daily schedule, giving a single sampler multiple sampling capabilities
-
Sampling Mode "Sampling method: time-weighted, flow-weighted, time schedule, flow schedule, event-triggered
-
Distribution: Single-bottle composite sample, multi-bottle composite sample, multi-bottle discrete sample, single sample multi-bottle, single-bottle multi-sample, or a combination of single sample multi-bottle and single-bottle multi-sample"
-
Operating Mode Continuous or intermittent
-
Status Screen Displays program run steps, whether any samples were missed, when the next sample will be taken, number of remaining samples, number of recorded channels, time of last measurement, available memory, number of available channels, whether an alarm was triggered, alarm trigger interval, active sensors, cabinet temperature, etc.
-
Alarm Alarm information is displayed on the status screen and can also be recorded in the diagnostic alarm log. Alarms can be set as system diagnostic alarms and recorded alarms, such as program complete, sampling stopped, missed sample, and bottle full. Channel alarms are alarms for recorded measured values (channels), such as pH, level, and supply voltage
-
Manual Sampling Starts sampling independently of the sampling program currently in progress
-
Auto Shutdown "Multi-bottle mode: after the distribution arm has fully rotated (except when continuous mode is selected)

Кейсы
Городские сточные воды — Hach-lab: пример внедрения
О проекте
Объект находится на входную, биологическую и выходную стадии городских очистных. Клиент хотел корректно оснастить существующее производство; позиция — Hach-lab, цель — лабораторный фотометрический и титриметрический анализ воды.
Технические вызовы
Реальная проблема в следующем: высокое содержание взвесей и коррозионных компонентов, большие суточные колебания расхода, и при этом показатели стоков колеблются, датчики зарастают илом и биоплёнкой. Всё это означает, что для конфигурации Hach-lab главное — подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов.
Конфигурация
Поставка и монтаж организованы через «лабораторная линейка»: подбор под методики лаборатории и поток проб. На объекте это означало подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов; построчно сверялось: стабильное соответствие нормам сброса класса 1A и передача данных онлайн.
Работа после ввода
После пусконаладки результат — стандартизованные методики делают данные сопоставимыми между лабораториями; показания теперь используются для настройки процесса.
Пищевая промышленность — Hach-lab: пример внедрения
Ситуация на объекте
Клиент работает в отрасли «Пищевая промышленность», производство расположено на участки дозирования, пастеризации, розлива и CIP-мойки. Главная задача — лабораторный фотометрический и титриметрический анализ воды.
В чём сложность
Сложность в том, что сиропы, молочные продукты и напитки, склонные к отложениям, при жёстких санитарных требованиях; кроме того, частые мойки требуют приборов, стойких к горячим щелочным циклам CIP/SIP. Поэтому ключевое здесь — подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов.
Что мы сделали
Мы использовали подход «лабораторная линейка» — подбор под методики лаборатории и поток проб. Основа реализации — подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов; поэтапно проверялось: требования пищевой безопасности и гигиенического исполнения 3-A / EHEDG.
Результат работы
В эксплуатации система ведёт себя как задумано — стандартизованные методики делают данные сопоставимыми между лабораториями, а объём текущего обслуживания заметно снизился.
Химия и фармацевтика — Hach-lab: пример внедрения
Контекст применения
реакторы, мерные и товарные резервуары — типовые условия отрасли «Химия и фармацевтика». Проект: Hach-lab; главное — лабораторный фотометрический и титриметрический анализ воды.
Ограничения процесса
коррозия и взрывозащита сокращают срок службы приборов и удорожают простои, а условия «сильно агрессивные среды с растворителями и кристаллизацией, частично во взрывоопасных зонах» только усиливают это. Поэтому конфигурация Hach-lab должна включать подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов.
Подход к поставке
Формат поставки — «лабораторная линейка»: подбор под методики лаборатории и поток проб. В работе главное — подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов, а также требования: сертификация Ex и прослеживаемость данных по GMP.
Результаты на объекте
Эксплуатация наглядно показывает результат — стандартизованные методики делают данные сопоставимыми между лабораториями; доверие к точке измерения заметно выросло.
Энергетика — Hach-lab: пример внедрения
О клиенте
Типовая площадка в отрасли «Энергетика» — питательная вода котлов, конденсат турбин, системы серо- и азотоочистки. Точка измерения — Hach-lab; основной акцент — лабораторный фотометрический и титриметрический анализ воды.
Ключевые трудности
Условия: высокие температура и давление, пар и минерализованная вода; вдобавок дрейф при высоких температуре и давлении, крайне дорогие внеплановые остановы — типовое исполнение здесь долго не выдерживает. Решение опирается на следующее: подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов.
Реализация
Работы шли по каналу «лабораторная линейка»: подбор под методики лаборатории и поток проб. Техническая основа — подбор по методике, потоку проб и комплекту реагентов; также учтено: соответствие отраслевым нормам и показателям готовности блока.
Выгода клиента
На практике это означает стандартизованные методики делают данные сопоставимыми между лабораториями, что снизило нагрузку на ремонтный персонал.
