Abstract: An access port for a fluid system having a sidewall defining a fluid cavity is provided. A probe receiver, having an inner passage with a valve seat and a chamber adjacent to the valve seat and in fluid communication with the inner passage, is connected to the sidewall of the fluid system. The chamber has an opening in communication with the fluid cavity and a valve member biased to a seated position that moves within the chamber to an unseated position. A probe is connected to the probe receiver and extends through the inner fluid passage of the probe receiver into the chamber. When the probe body is inserted into the probe receiver it moves the valve member to the unseated position and the valve member and a portion of the probe body traverse the opening. When the probe body is removed, the valve member returns to the seated position.

Abstract: A magnetic filter includes a stack of magnetic filter elements having a central flow channel comprising at least one flow opening in the magnetic filter elements and a series of flow gaps between adjacent magnetic filter elements, each magnetic filter element comprising one or more magnets enclosed within a non-magnetic housing. There is an end cap at a second end of the stack of magnetic filter elements, the end cap closing the central flow channel at the second end such that flow is redirected in parallel flows through the flow gaps between the magnetic filter elements. There is an attachment at a second end of the stack of magnetic filter elements, the attachment attaching the stack of magnetic filter elements to a fluid port of a fluid system to define a flow path between the fluid port and the outer fluid environment.

Abstract: A device for sampling fluids that has an outer conduit having a first end connected to a non-pressurized fluid reservoir and a second end adjacent to the testing location that is remote from the fluid reservoir. An inner fluid conduit is positioned within the outer conduit, the inner fluid conduit having a first end extending into the fluid reservoir and the second end adjacent to the testing location, the second end having a connector. A pressure source selectively connects to the connector and selectively applies a vacuum to the second end of the inner fluid conduit to draw fluid from the through the inner fluid conduit and applying pressure to purge the inner fluid conduit of fluid.

Abstract: A filter element has a non-magnetic frame defining a fluid flow opening. The non-magnetic frame has at least one mounting surface for mounting against a ferrous material. Two or more magnet-enclosing channels are supported by the non-magnetic frame. Two or more permanent magnets are provided within each magnet-enclosing channel. The permanent magnets are arranged with opposite poles facing one another. The permanent magnets apply a magnetic force through the at least one mounting surface to support the non-magnetic frame on the ferrous material.
