Flow Through Sampler (FTS) : Kuster Company

The Kuster Flow Through Sampler (FTS) is a device that collects fluid samples from producing wells. It has a sample chamber that is lowered into the well and allows fluid to pass through until valves close to trap the sample at a programmed time. The trapped sample maintains the same pressure and state as in the well. The sample can then be removed and transferred to storage containers without changing pressure or contaminating the sample.

Flow Through Sampler (FTS)

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.
