Kuster™ Flow Through Sampler (FTS)

Product Reference:11700-100



The Kuster™ Flow Through Sampler (FTS) is a device for obtaining fluid samples from a producing well.

The sample chamber is lowered into the well with open valves on each end, allowing well fluids to pass freely through the chamber. At an interval programmed on the surface, the valves close, trapping the fluid. The sampler can then be removed from the well.

The sample contained in the chamber will remain in the same state as it was in the well. The pressure will not be changed. The sample can then be removed from the sampler and transferred to a container suitable for storage by means of a transfer apparatus. The transfer can be made without changing the pressure of the sample or contaminating it. The instrument consists of a sample chamber with a spring-loaded valve on each end. A latching mechanism connects the valves together and holds them open. Above the chamber, there is a clock to program the closing time, and a ball operated tripping mechanism to release the valves. The lower end has a removable bull nose with ports to allow the fluid to enter. At the top, there is a rope socket for attaching the wireline.
