Size Reductions Mark Sampling Probe
Development
Smaller is better when it comes to sampling system probes and the significant size reductions seen in the development of probes over the years is well illustrated by Jiskoot.

Inspection sampling systems for loading arms
Jiskoot has supplied three Co-Jetix sampling systems to Independent Inspection Services of Sweden.
Jiskoot developed the Series 300 as its entry into the crude oil sampling business.
Next, in recognising that sampling was more than physical extraction of oil from a pipeline, Jiskoot developed and patented Jet mixing in 1978.
In 1981 BP again approached Jiskoot, asking for the manufacture and license of an 'in-line' sample probe, and providing a design known as the 'red probe'.
Jiskoot then released its Series 200 sample probe.
This evolved into the 250 Series, many of which exist through to the last incarnation as the 210 Series, which has moved through three model revisions to the current MKIII.
Reductions in size are a major factor in this development trail.
Another one is the vast number deployed and their longevity.
The record number of operations reported on a single seal set is in the order of an amazing 13 million and a 9-year service interval, which is definitely not Jiskoot's recommendation! The current Jiskoot sampling system versions are relied upon for valuation of crude oil cargos by the majority of the world's main shipment terminals.
