❖With aid of sketch explain the f.o bunker DNV
sampling system?

• What is a fuel drip sampler?

A fuel drip sampler is one of the most important
aspects of any oil analysis program. The sample
collected by the sampler is representative of the total
amount of the bunkering progress. Oil samples are
required for regulatory analysis and commercial
purposes and are required by law. A representative oil
sample will provide an accurate representation of the
quality of the oil bunkered.
Suppose a sample does not represent the actual
condition of the oil and component at the time of
sampling. In that case, the reliability of both the
test result and its interpretation is insecure.
Crucial aspects of the sample progress include
taking the sample, sampling location, and
witnessing the progress.
• What are the economic benefits of bunker
samplers?
A fuel sampler is not only helping you through
bunkering progress because it’s required by law, but
it’s also the most economical way of taking fuel
samples. Without a drip sampler, the only way to take a
fuel sample is by hand, where you have to operate a
valve manually to let the fuel sample drip in a
container. The sampler makes it easier for you to take a
fuel sample because it’s more reliable and easier to use.
• Where is the fuel drip sampler usually located?
Most of the time, the sampler is located in the Bunker
Manifold close to the bunker flange. Here, the Chief
Engineer can be placed between the bunker manifold
flange and the pipeline towards the fuel system.

• How to choose the correct size of a fuel drip

sampler?
1. Select the nearest size bunker sampler with an outer
diameter smaller than the flanges Pitch Circle
Diameter minus the Bolt Hole Diameter.

2. The inner diameter has to be larger dan the Nominal

Pipe Size of the flange.
• The sampler can be custom made of different
materials in accordance with different
standards:
Flange Size: DN80-DN350

Flange Standard : ANSI/BS/DIN/JIS...

Stainless Materials: SUS304

1. Stainless Steel Flange

2. Purpose Built Probe With Baffle Plate
3. Stainless Steel Valve
4. Cubitainers Interface and Security Cap
5. Stainless Steel Valve Locking Device
6. 5 pieces of seal Strip
7. Customised Long Nuts and Bolts
8. 2 Pieces of Asbestos Free Gaskets
• Principle of operation:

A container is fastened to the bottom of it, and it is

situated between the flanges, the connecting barge,
and the ship.
Some of the fuel is collected through the sampler's
perforations as it passes through it as it moves along
the transfer pipe, and the remaining fuel flows into a
canister that is connected to the sampler.
