ABSTRACT:
A liquid sampler tube of elongate, cylindrical construction has an accordion fold formed along a predetermined extent of its main body so that the liquid sampler tube can be shortened when in storage or in transport and returned to its initial length when ready for use. In a second embodiment, a telescoping construction supplants the accordion fold. In a third embodiment, the elongate main body is formed of a flexible, flat hose material so that it can be rolled into a rolled configuration for storage or transport and unrolled when ready for use. The shortening of the liquid sampler tube enables a greater number of liquid sampler tubes to occupy a given space relative to the number of liquid sampler tubes of standard, unshortened length.
