ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a sampling device is connected to equipment having a fluid flow path. The sampling device has a chamber that defines a fluid flow path, and has a tubular sampling coupon that is positioned within the chamber. The tubular sampling coupon further defines the fluid flow path. After operating the equipment for a period of time, wherein fluid is caused to flow through the tubular sampling coupon, i) the tubular sampling coupon is removed from the chamber, and ii) first and second parts of the tubular sampling coupon are separated. Prior to separating the first and second parts of the tubular sampling coupon, the first and second parts are mated, and separable, along an axis that is parallel to the fluid flow path. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
