Abstract

The invention relates to a sampling method and apparatus for a fluidized bed of particles in an enclosure, comprising a sampling riser pipe (4) that communicates with the enclosure (1) below the upper surface of the fluidized bed and forms an extension thereof and has a restriction (5) adapted to limit the sampling flow rate, and means (14, 15) provided for injecting a compressed gas at an adjustable flow rate into the pipe (4) between the enclosure (1) and the restriction (5) with a view to controlling, by appropriate regulation of the flow rate of the gas, the quantity of particles withdrawn.
