Probe Module (SPM)
Why Use a Swagelok Sample Probe Module?
The oil, gas, and chemical industries use process analyzers to measure the concentration of key
components in their gas and liquid streams. These analytical measurements must be reliable to
maintain precise process control, which helps reduce costs and improves quality and safety. To
ensure a useful analytical measurement, it is critical for extracted samples to be representative
of what is in the process pipe and to reach the analyzer in a timely manner. Using sample probes
in conjunction with sample probe valves can improve safety, sample purity, and timeliness.

System Safety
Removing a process sample for an online analyzer can be difficult to accomplish safely because
the process often operates at high pressures and temperatures. Using a block-and-bleed valve
at the sample tap allows proper isolation of the process fluid and venting of the analytical system
pressure through the bleed valve.

Sample Purity
To ensure proper analytical control, it is critical to extract a sample that is truly representative
of the process media. Further, the sample must be free of any particles that will damage the
analyzer. Extracting a sample by connecting a nozzle to a process line allows old process
material and heavy particulate to enter the sample line and flow to the analyzer. On the other
hand, installing a probe into the center of the process line helps ensure a representative sample
is extracted; the probe also helps filter the process particulate.

Timeliness
To control a process effectively, an online analyzer must receive a sample quickly to enable
timely process adjustments. Occasionally, a lengthy sample extraction process can render
the sample useless before it even reaches the analyzer. One way to minimize time delay to
the analyzer is to reduce the analytical system volume. Using a probe to extract a sample can
greatly reduce system volume, as compared to collecting a sample with a nozzle.

Swagelok Sample Probe Module (SPM) Basics

The Swagelok SPM is a pre-engineered solution for use in online process analyzers that
consists of a welded sample probe (SPW) or retractable sample probe (SPR) a and block-and-
bleed sample probe valve (SPV).

• SPW welded sample probes are best suited for use with double block-and-bleed SPVs
(SPV-61 and SPV-62). SPV-61 contains a primary block valve, a secondary block valve, and
a bleed valve. SPV-62 contains the same valve configuration, but adds a mechanical interlock
between the primary block valve and the bleed valve.

• SPR retractable sample probes are best suited for use with single block-and-bleed SPVs
(SPV-63 and SPV-64), which include safety features that do not allow the valve to actuate
while the probe is in service. SPV-63 contains a primary block valve, a bleed valve, and a
probe spool lock. SPV-64 adds a mechanical interlock between the primary block valve and
the bleed valve.

Sample Probe Design

A probe provides a faster analyzer response by reducing the volume of the sample system. The
nozzle volume can be significant, increasing the required purge volume of the entire sample
system. Also, the probe allows the sample to be extracted from the center of the process pipe,
which eliminates the extraction of sludge along the pipe walls.

Further, the available 45° angle cut of the Swagelok probe greatly reduces the amount of
particulate extracted into the sample system. Both features help ensure the probe extracts a
representative sample from the process.

For these reasons, we recommend using a probe in pipes larger than 2 in. (50 mm); this is
especially critical for pipes larger than 4 in. (100 mm).

Probe designs can vary in length, diameter, wall thickness, and materials of construction.
These parameters will affect the probe’s strength, filtering ability, and internal flow velocity.
Thicker, larger welded probes will withstand more impact from high process flows, but offer
slower flow speeds through the larger internal diameter. However, this slower flow speed allows
more particles to fall out of the probe instead of continuing into the analytical sample system.
Smaller retractable probes are not as strong as welded probes, but their smaller internal volume
provides faster flow speeds to the analyzer.

Welded Probe (SPW)

pipe or heavy-wall tubing and are welded to SPV Double Block-

Sample Probe Valve Design

All SPVs contain a primary block valve and
a bleed valve for depressurizing the sample
line, which can be interlocked. That is, when
Secondary
the block valve is open to the process, the Block
bleed valve is locked closed; when the bleed
valve is open, the block valve is locked

of crimping the probe. In addition, the patent-
pending probe interlock prevents the probe Primary

Ordering a Sample Probe Module

To enable the Swagelok SPM to serve the broadest range of process applications, conditions,
and media, we allow you to order sample probes and sample probe valves separately.

• Select an SPW or SPR sample probe based on your application.

• SPW welded probes typically are used in high-volume, high-pressure applications; they
cannot be removed while the process is active. See SPW Welded Probes, page 8,
and the ordering information on page 11.

• SPR retractable probes typically are used in lower-volume applications; they can be
removed for maintenance or service while the process is active. See SPR Retractable
Probes, page 12, and the ordering information on page 14.

• Select the SPV sample probe valve that will interface with the process flow; see SPV Sample
Probe Valves, page 15, and the ordering information on page 18.

• SPV-61 and SPV-62 double block-and-bleed sample probe valves are best suited for
SPW sample probes.

• SPV-63 and SPV-64 single block-and-bleed sample probe valves are best suited for SPR
sample probes.

Installing a Sample Probe Module

The Swagelok SPM subsystem installs directly onto a process interface nozzle that is either
threaded or flanged.

If your process is a gas stream, it is best to locate your process nozzle on the top of a horizontal
process pipe to minimize extraction of moisture and particulate. That orientation also works well
for liquid streams if the process pipe consistently is full of liquid. If in doubt, an upward flowing
vertical pipe is certain to be full and may be a better alternative. For the best performance, try
to get ten pipe diameters of straight uninterrupted flow upstream of the nozzle and two pipe
diameters of clear flow downstream of the nozzle.

10 Pipe 2 Pipe
Diameters Diameters

Process Flow

Select a probe with a large enough inside diameter to avoid blocking by particles in the process
fluid, yet small enough to provide an acceptable time delay. Reducing internal volume of the
probe will reduce sample time delay.

As a gas sample leaves the probe, it quickly cools to the temperature of the SPV body. If this
temperature is below the dew point of the sample, consider using a heater to raise the SPV body
temperature.

subsystems, see the Sample Probe Module User’s Manual, MS‑13‑220.
