The transport of dangerous goods and hazardous materials must be handled with special care. This is the only way to ensure that the sample arrives at ASG in good condition and can be processed promptly. You can go through this checklist:
- Are your samples particularly volatile? Do you need special gas-tight containers for them?
- Are your containers (bottles etc.) suitable for the hazardous material? Could there be reactions with the contents? (E.g., aluminum/stainless steel and corrosive liquids)
- Are your containers completely sealed without additional sealing (parafilm, foil, etc.)? Please avoid using glass containers where possible due to risk of breakage! Please also refrain from additional sealing with parafilm or other sealing films, as this extremely increases processing effort!
- For larger quantities: Are the containers (canisters) approved for transport?
- Are all bottles marked with the correct GHS symbols?
- Is the safety data sheet enclosed?
- Have you included a printed copy of the analysis order?
If you don’t have suitable containers on hand, you can order them from Bürkle, for example.
The transport of liquefied gas samples must be carried out in specially designed pressure vessels, which may only be filled to a maximum of 80% capacity. If you do not have your own pressure vessels, containers with 150 ml capacity (max. 200 bar) can be borrowed from us for a rental and cleaning fee. We can arrange for the transport of these empty pressure vessels to the customer, while for legal reasons, the transport of filled gas cylinders to us must always be organized by the customer.
If you prefer not to perform the sampling yourself, we can offer sampling by trained personnel according to DIN EN ISO 4257, including direct sampling at gas stations if desired. In this case, the transport of collected samples can be carried out in our specialized vehicle in compliance with all regulations.
Since the analysis of liquefied gas samples raises several detailed questions from sampling through transport to measurement, we recommend contacting us when planning a gas measurement. In this discussion, all important details such as sample containers, connections, pressure conditions, transport duration, etc., can be precisely discussed to ensure that incoming samples can be measured immediately.
