Abstract
A method and apparatus for sampling the gaseous content of a liquid laden with solids initially involves sampling the liquid as close as possible to the source of the liquid. A strainer housing having a strainer plate for filtering out debris in the liquid is connected to a suction pump for sucking the liquid into the housing and to the pump. The pump delivers the sampled liquid to a degassing device mounted on a frame with the pump. The degassing device agitates the liquid to liberate gases suspended therein. The gases are then collected from the degassing device so that the gases may be analyzed. A motor mechanism on the frame drives the pump, a rotating agitator in the degassing device and a rotating scraper on the exterior of the strainer plate simultaneously. This method and apparatus are particularly applicable to the sampling of drilling mud from an oil well exploration site for purposes of analyzing the hydrocarbon content of the drilling mud.
