| KC HAPS bottom corer |
 |
- Application:
- The KC HAPS Bottom corer is highly
suitable for taking well defined, undisturbed samples
from hard as well as soft sediments. This can be seen by
a clear water phase above the sediment surface.
-
- It's
weight of 168 kg (maximum load) demands winch operation.
|
 |
- Materials:
- The HAPS is manufactured
from AISI 316 stainless steel
with electro polished surface. The sample tube
(5) is made of stainless steel (standard) but can
be delivered in transparent polycarbonate as well. In
order to stabilize the HAPS in sea swells, and to sample in
sandy sediments, weights can be mounted (1, 2,
3).

- Closing the corer tube:
- When the
Haps is raised from the sea a shovel arrangement will close the end of
the corer tube to prevent the sample from exiting.
|
 |
Sample tubes:
If you
need to check the visibility of the sample before emptying the corer
tube you must use a polycarbonate sample tube 50.700.
For very hard sediment it is recommended to
use a sample tube made of stainless steel 50.800.
