SOLON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For more than 65 years, Swagelok® products have provided the highest quality fluid system connections for high performance – helping process analyzers deliver reliable results to users around the world. Sampling systems expert Tony Waters and Swagelok have created a comprehensive reference covering the engineering involved with designing and operating a sampling system for a process analyzer.
Exclusively available for purchase at Swagelok sales and service centers, Industrial Sampling Systems offers in-depth analytical instrumentation material suited for anyone from a novice to a degreed engineer (Figure 1).
