  • Patent number: 10633241
    Abstract: A tap for industrial use allows the collection of liquid samples. The tap is partially made up of a body crossed by a pipe and a control mechanism including, in particular, a handle and a shutter. In a closed position, the shutter entirely obstructs the hole of the pipe. In an open position, the shutter does not even partially obstruct the hole of the pipe. The tap is attached, in a closed position, to a container holding a liquid. An operator can, using the lever, switch the tap from a closed position to an open position, and vice versa, thus allowing the liquid to flow through the pipe according to variable flow rates ranging from a flow rate of zero in closed position to a maximum flow rate in open position. The pipe is removable to enable optimal cleaning of all the elements of the device.
