A debris trap piston () is slidably disposed within the housing (). The debris trap piston () includes a debris chamber (). Responsive to the fluid sample entering the sample chamber (), the debris trap piston () receives a first portion of the fluid sample in the debris chamber () then displaces relative to the housing () to expand the sample chamber ().
