Abstract
A sampling port () has a generally cylindrical first portion (), a generally cylindrical second portion () with a smaller diameter than the first portion () and a guide member () that rotates about a hinge () to extend into the second portion () to reduce the effective diameter of the second portion (). The guide member () and/or the second and/or first portions () are shaped so that the guide member can extend further into the sampling port () than a simple cylindrical guide member rotating into simple cylindrical first and second portions.
