the lab evaluation.
The importance of taking a representative sample from the process line can
not be emphasized enough. Inaccuracy will lead to unreliable calibration of
the consistency transmitter. The foundation for an exact lab evaluation is to
take the sample right from the process. To succeed, there is an absolute need
for a high-quality sampling valve, functioning in the same way no matter who
the operator is. By taking an accurate sample, the lab evaluation will be as
accurate, leading to a reliable calibration and follow-up of the transmitter.
