ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus for sampling a liquid conveyed by a plurality of tubes.
The sampling apparatus comprises a cylindrical enclosure with a vertical axis and a circular cross-section having a given length. The enclosure has a lower planar wall, a side wall and a cover which seals the upper part of the enclosure. One of the walls is perforated by a plurality of orifices whose number is at least equal to the number of tubes. The end of each tube issues into one of the orifices which are regularly disposed along a portion of a single curve without a double point. The length of this curve portion exceeds that of the given length. The sampling device also comprises a movable sampling member in the form of a single suction tube having a free end associated with means for simultaneously rotating the suction tube about the axis of the enclosure and for translating the tube in such a way that its free end remains in contact with the wall provided with orifices and moves along the curve.
A particular application is to a system for locating breaks in the jacket of a reactor, particularly a liquid sodium-cooled reactor.
