Multi-Stage Sludge Sampler

The "valved core tip" meets the challenge of adequately filling a sampler without losing the sample upon retrieval. The sampler uses a disposable plastic soil catcher that fits on the end of a 2" x 12" plastic liner. The core tip has been technically enhanced to allow the plastic soil core catcher and a liner to fit snuggly over the machined lip of the core tip. Once the soil core catcher and liner are placed on the core tip they are loaded into a standard multi-stage base section and screwed together. The last piece of the sampler is the flap check cap. During deployment, the flap cap opens and allows excess air and water to escape through the top of the sampler. The sediment enters and fills the liner because the venting action eliminates pressure buildup. When the sampler is lifted, the rubber flap cap closes and creates suction to assist the soil core catcher in retaining the sample. Up to 4 optional 12" sections can be added.

Includes multi-stage flap check cap, multi-stage sludge core tip, 12" multistage SCS base, 2" x 12" plastic liner, plastic end caps, 2" soil core catcher and universal slip wrench.
