Constant Pressure Cylinder with Assist Mechanism

Purpose:

The assist handle model is designed for low pressure application where the process pressure is not sufficient to drive the piston rearward while collecting a sample. Our piston will typically move with at least 25 psi of diff erently pressure. If the application involves a lower pressure or the process characterisitcs are such that they can foul the piston, then the assist handle can be used to overcome the forces of "stickation".

The assist handle is not recommended for high pressure applications.
