Manufacturer of "Vented Pipe Cap"
(OP)
We currently have a 6" open ended pipe that we take % oxygen readings off of when purging a vessel with nitrogen. An issue has beeen brought up with asphyxiation hazards due to testing the atmosphere while the vessel is still N2 inerted. We were thinking about a pipe cap with a 1/2 capped vent on it or a 1/2" ball valve on it to take the readings. There is a valve before this cap so there would be isolation when opening the valve or cap.
Our maintenance staff is low and busy so does anyone know a company that makes these things to buy? I'm guessing these types of fittings are standard for other uses?
Thanks in advance.

As you didn't mention pressure and temperature you might take a look at the this type closure and determine if it suitable.
