  • Process for collecting and analyzing the content of a liquid in an automated on-line bath analysis system
    Publication number: 20010000334
    Abstract: A collector and method for collecting samples of liquid from at least one source of liquid for automated analysis of the samples. The collector has at least one receptacle for receiving liquid from the source of liquid and holding a quantity of the liquid for obtaining a sample. Each receptacle has an inlet for delivery of liquid from the respective source of liquid and an open top sized to admit the sample collection device into the receptacle. The collector also has a spillway in fluid communication with the open top of the receptacle for receiving excess liquid spilling over the open top of the receptacle. The collector is constructed so that liquid continuously flows through the collector. A drain of the collector receives liquid from the spillway for draining the liquid from the collector.
