Screens for lost tips for soil gas RT

Description

Lost tip screens for Soil Gas RT are protective and filtration accessories designed for use with soil gas sampling tips. They are made from technical materials such as stainless steel or Teflon (polymers resistant to contaminants) that ensure corrosion resistance, durability, and compatibility with environmental installations.

This type of screens is mounted on the outer part of perforated sampling tips ("lost tips"), and their main function is to prevent fine soil particles, sediments, or debris from clogging the gas intake holes, ensuring a cleaner and more representative sample flow to the sampling line. They are especially useful in complex environments where the presence of fine soil, sand, or clay can compromise the sampling quality.

The manufacture of these screens is carried out on demand, leveraging their expertise in boiler making, welding, and customized machining of parts in stainless steel, aluminum, or Teflon, adapted to the dimensions and needs of each environmental project.

Features

• Designed to protect soil gas sampling tips.
• Corrosion-resistant materials: stainless steel, Teflon or other technical polymers.
• Mesh or slotted structure that allows gas passage and prevents solid particles.
• Compatible with standard or custom perforated tips.
• Custom manufacturing based on diameter, tip type, and application depth.

Applications

• Soil gas sampling for detection of volatile contaminants.
• Environmental study of industrial, urban, or agricultural soils.
• Vapor monitoring in wells or sampling probes.
• Installations with lost tips or auger drilled systems, whether manual or mechanical.

Performance

It is installed on the tip before sampling. During soil insertion, it allows controlled gas entry while filtering out unwanted particles or contaminants.

When removing the tip, the screen ensures that the gas sample remains contained and representative, ready for further analysis, ensuring precise and reliable measurements in environmental or geotechnical studies.

Advantages

Improve Sample Quality

The screen keeps intake holes free from solid particles, allowing gas to flow into the intake unobstructed.

Reduction of Field Failures

Prevents blockages that cause time loss and repeated sampling, especially in fine soils or those with high particle content.

Industrial Durability

Manufactured with high-performance materials to withstand corrosive environments and repeated use.

Customizable

Can be adapted to different types of tips, diameters, and depths, according to the sampling project requirements.
