Abstract

A sampling system has a first connecting piece for connecting to a pipe traversed by fluid and a third connecting piece, and a cock which has a basic body with a longitudinal axis, about which the cock can be pivoted between a first end position and a second end position. The sampling system further has a sampling recess. In the first end position, the sampling recess can be connected via the first connecting piece to the pipe traversed by media. In the second end position, the sampling recess can be connected to the third connecting piece, in which the third connecting piece is connected to a first end of an extraction needle which can be pierced with a second end through a membrane of a sampling volume. In the second end position, the sampling recess is connected via the third connecting piece to a first end of a ventilation needle.

Claims

1. A sampling system, comprising:

a first connecting piece for connection to a pipe through which fluid flows and a third connecting piece;

a cock having a main body with a longitudinal axis about which the cock is pivotable between a first end position and a second end position; and

a sampling recess, wherein, in the first end position, the sampling recess is connectable via the first connecting piece to the pipe through which fluid flows, wherein, in the second end position, the sampling recess is connectable to the third connecting piece, wherein the third connecting piece communicates with a first end of an extraction needle, which is pushable with a second end through a membrane of a sampling volume, and wherein, in the second end position, the sampling recess communicates with a first end of a ventilation needle via the third connecting piece.

2. The sampling system as claimed in claim 1, wherein both the extraction needle and also the ventilation needle lie with their respective first ends in a volume that communicates with the third connecting piece.

3. The sampling system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the ventilation needle protrudes farther than the extraction needle into the volume.

4. The sampling system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the volume is connected to the third connecting piece via a pipe section.

5. The sampling system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the volume is formed by a pipe piece.

6. The sampling system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first end of the ventilation needle is bent at an angle.

7. The sampling system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a second connecting piece lying opposite the first connecting piece, the third connecting piece being offset at an angle with respect to the connecting axis of the first connecting piece and of the second connecting piece.

8. The sampling system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the longitudinal axis of the main body, when the latter is inserted into the sampling system, extends substantially perpendicular to the connecting axis of the first connecting piece and of the second connecting piece.

9. The sampling system as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is no connection of the first connecting piece to the third connecting piece and no connection of the second connecting piece to the third connecting piece in either of the end positions or any of the intermediate positions.

10. The sampling system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the sampling recess is a through-opening, wherein the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are connectable via the through-opening in the first end position, and wherein the through-opening is connectable to the third connecting piece in the second end position.

11. The sampling system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the through-opening extends substantially transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cock.

12. The sampling system as claims in claim 6, wherein the angle is approximately 90°

to 180°
