A system and method includes receiving at least one instruction from a first computing system to schedule a test of a fluid. An input device is operated for importing at least a quantity of the fluid from a source. A filling device is instructed for filling a vial with a pre-determined amount of the imported fluid. A drawing device is operated for drawing a pre-determined amount of a reagent. The drawing device is activated for adding the pre-determined amount of the reagent to the vial. An output of a photocolorimeter is read. The output indicates a reaction of the pre-determined amount of the imported fluid and the pre-determined amount of the reagent. A result of the test is transmitted to a second computing system.

A cryogenic liquid sampler is provided. The sampler includes an inner volume and a useful internal length, a cryogenic liquid inlet conduit in fluid connection with an inlet valve, a weir tube in fluid connection with the inlet valve, wherein the weir tube comprises at least one weir hole, wherein the weir tube extends a predetermined distance into the inner volume, a cryogenic liquid outlet conduit in fluid connection with inner volume and in fluid connection with an outlet valve, and a purge tube in fluid connection with the outlet valve.

One embodiment of the method includes: closing both the inlet valve and the outlet valve, connecting a cryogenic liquid source to the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit, and introducing cryogenic liquid into the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit; opening both the inlet valve and outlet valve, thereby introducing cryogenic liquid into the sampler vessel inner volume, the cryogenic liquid has a free surface; closing both the inlet valve and the outlet valve after cryogenic liquid flows from the purge tube; disconnecting the cryogenic liquid source from the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit; opening the inlet valve, thereby allowing cryogenic liquid to flow from the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit; and closing the inlet valve after the free surface in the sampler vessel inner volume drops below the top of the first cryogenic liquid level, and the cryogenic liquid flow stops.

A fluid monitoring and management device that includes a housing with a fluid passageway. The fluid monitoring and management device further includes a fluid property sensor with a sensing element in the fluid passageway. A valve is in the fluid passageway of the fluid monitoring and management device. A removable bottle mount is aligned with the valve to be selectively in fluid communication with the fluid passageway.

A sampling system for collecting periodic composite and/or non-composite samples of vaporized gas during a transfer process from a vaporizer of a cryogenic hydrocarbon liquid including 1) a direct sample pathway to a gas analyzer for instantaneous, real-time vaporized gas analysis, 2) a speed loop pathway for directly collecting fresh vaporized gas samples for subsequent analysis, and 3) a composite sample pathway including a pressurized sample accumulator for collecting a plurality periodically obtained samples of a select volume during the transfer process to create a composite sample of the vaporized gas.

A system may include a needle and source providing fluid to the needle. The system may include a sheath defining an opening. The needle may be within the sheath. The needle and sheath may define a cavity. The system may include a gasket movable between open and closed positions. The gasket may fluidly seal an end of the sheath so that the fluid exits the needle into the cavity and exits via the opening. The system may include a bottle including a septum proximate the end of the sheath. The system may include a movement system that may displace the gasket to permit fluid to exit the cavity via the end of the sheath and displace the sheath or needle such that the needle extends beyond the sheath. The movement system may displace the needle or bottle such that the needle penetrates the septum and fluid exits into the bottle.

A method of, and apparatus for sampling a solid or liquid sample using a sampling tool which has a sampling rod/tube that is configured to house a sampling pod, the apparatus comprising: a main body portion with at least one sample collecting cavity; and a removable/opening lid portion that in use fits/closes over at least part of said main body portion and thereby covers and the cavity; the method further comprising the following steps: Inserting said sampling pod main body portion within said sampling rod/tube and taking a solid or liquid sample from a vessel/container; removing sampling rod/tube from said vessel or container and covering said collecting cavity to seal said cavity; transporting said sample within said sampling pod to place of a analysis; and at place of analysis removing at least part of said covering from main body portion to expose sample for analysis.
