Bottom Sampler PD-0.5 / PD-1.0 with Spring Valve
PD-0.5 and PD-1.0 — bottom samplers made of stainless steel with automatic spring valve for sampling bottom samples of petroleum products from stationary tanks at oil depots, gas stations and transport containers. Manufacturer — LLC "NPF Gerkon", Ukraine.
Operating Principle
The rod of the spring valve protrudes from the sampler base. When touching the tank bottom, the rod rises upward, overcoming the weak spring force, and opens the valve at the base — the product enters the sampler container. After separation from the bottom, the spring returns the valve to the closed position, sealing the sample inside.
Two Models
- PD-0.5 — capacity 0.5 liters, dimensions 75×75×240 mm, weight 1.5 kg
- PD-1.0 — capacity 1.0 liter, dimensions 82×82×340 mm, weight 2.1 kg
Applications
- Oil depots — monitoring of bottom layer in large tanks (RVS)
- Gas stations — detection of bottom water and sediment
- Oil extraction plants — vegetable oil samples
- Transport containers — tank trucks, rail tank cars
Advantages
- Completely hermetic sample — valve seals the specimen after separation from the bottom
- Stainless steel — corrosion resistance and durability
- Easy to operate — without moving handles or complex mechanisms
- Reliable spring — designed for thousands of opening-closing cycles

NOVA POSHTA
1-3 days. Delivery speed depends on your location. After placing your order and payment, we ship the same day or the next.
SAT
Delivery time 3-5 days. Speed depends on the distance between sender and recipient. This is the most economical option compared to Nova Poshta.
DELIVERY

FREIGHT POOLING
Shipping is done via shared transport through a dispatcher. Finding a vehicle takes 1-2 days; speed depends on the destination (major cities are faster, remote villages slower). This method is cheaper than the carriers listed above.
We work throughout Ukraine, and on request can arrange delivery via another courier service not on our list.

PAYMENT METHODS
After placing an order for a selected product in our store, we verify stock availability and confirm with you. Payment can then be made using one of the following methods:
- Bank transfer to the company account (VAT included).
- Cash on delivery (payment upon receipt).
Before paying via bank transfer, please contact us to confirm product availability.
Cash on delivery is processed at the carrier's warehouse. The service fee is 2% of the total + 15 UAH for payment processing. For an order of 1000 UAH you will pay 35 UAH for this service plus the shipping cost.
The second method is more reliable as you can inspect the goods on the spot, but it is also more expensive, so before paying you may want to consider which method suits you best.
If payment is received by 12:00, we ship the same day; if payment arrives later, shipping is processed the next day.
For any questions about payment, please contact us — if you haven't found an answer to your question, we will provide more detailed information.
