Its volume is about 1 / 625 of the volume of the same amount of gaseous natural gas, and the mass of liquefied natural gas is only about 45% of the same volume of water.

[0003] A sampler is required in the liquefied natural gas sampling process. After the traditional sampler is used, liquefied natural gas will remain inside. If the inside of the sampler cannot be cleaned in time, it will affect the next use of the sampler and reduce the working accuracy of the sampler.

In addition, the conventional storage temperature of liquefied natural gas is usually around -162°C. The extraction shell lacks an insulation structure and is prone to frostbite operators. It also causes the internal liquefied natural gas to quickly exchange heat with the outside world through the extraction shell, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
