Jiskoot has announced that its ShearMix sample homogenising station has received GOST certification for use in Russia, having passed their government's pre-import tests for compliance with all applicable safety and EMC requirements. Fully homogenising the contents of a constant pressure sample receiver at collection line pressure to ensure analysis sub-sample homogeneity and retention of 'light-ends', it is the only integrated mixing system using standard laboratory techniques to homogenise liquid hydrocarbon samples with the repeatability required for Karl Fischer analysis. The ShearMix complies with the requirements of IP386 and equivalent standards and will mix water and 'light' hydrocarbons of viscosities from 0.5 to 200cSt, ie light crude oils to condensates.

It can be used with Jiskoot CPC sample receivers or other makes with suitable fittings and with all types of constant pressure receivers from 0.5 to 4 litres.

Sub-samples can be withdrawn from the system for analysis through a valve or using a pressurised syringe.

The ShearMix system offers significantly improved sample homogenisation compared with mixing provided by internal mixing balls or baffles.
