  • Patent number: 5295400
    Abstract: A slurry sampling device (3) for sampling a slurry in which solid particles are dispersed has upper and lower blocks (105, 109), and a rotator (102) for collection which is rotatably held between the blocks and has a plurality of through holes (111) each having a volume corresponding to the amount of sample to be collected. The upper and lower blocks are provided with slurry conduits (101, 108) and carrier fluid conduits (107, 110) which can be communicated with the through holes so that slurry and carrier fluid can flow therethrough. Arc-shaped long grooves (113, 114) are provided on portions of the upper and lower blocks where ends of the slurry conduits (101, 108) come into contact with, or are adjacent to, the rotator, so that at least one of the through holes is thereby constantly in contact with the long grooves.
