Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid sampling bench of the type in which sampling takes place by means of a container sealed by an elastic plug, which is perforated on a hollow needle connected to a tank containing the liquid to be sampled. The latter is positioned beneath a biological protection slab and comprises a sealed vessel located beneath the slab and integral therewith and which contains the end fittings of the hollow needles. It also comprises a mechanical device for introducing and manipulating the containers and whereof at least the lower part traverses the slab and terminates in the vessel level with the needle end fittings. Application is to sampling radioactive liquids in the nuclear industry.
