Abstract
A probe is provided that combines in one housing a pressure regulator and filter/dryer element. The probe may be connected to a conduit for the transfer of a fluid sample, such as natural gas, from the conduit to provide separation of the fluid such that a gaseous component may be then subsequently transferred to an instrument or the like. If liquid is separated it may be returned to the conduit via a return line.
