A portable physical phase stratification and separator device that includes a 'U'-shaped frame connected to a fluid sump having a tank with an inlet port is disclosed. The inlet port is connected to a calibrated sampling column having a graduated cylinder by a gate valve. Above the sampling column is a vacuum port that selectively applies a vacuum to draw a fluid sample from a reservoir. The vacuum can be supplied by an external vacuum pump or by an internal venturi pump. The drawn fluid sample is directed into the cylinder where it separates. A sample of the drawn fluid can be extracted for external analysis. Various valves and fittings route pressures and vacuums and fluid sample as required around and out the portable physical phase stratification and separator device.
