18.000 - Secchi disc

The disc operates in this way: lower the disc into the water using a graduated line. The depth at which the disc is no longer visible is recorded. The disc is then raised, and a recording of the depth at which the disc reappears should be made. The mean of these two recordings is considered to be the limit of visibility.

Available in 2 sizes. Both secchi discs are made of 10 mm VIKUPOR SC white PVC plates. A lead weight is mounted in the bottom.
