Van Veen grab - 2000 cm²
12.310 - Van Veen grab	Application: Sampler for collecting bottom sediments for biological, hydrological and environmental studies.   Function: As the lowering wire slackens, the hook on the release device falls down. When the wire is retrieved the grab will close and the 2 shovels are forced together, preventing any loss of sediment during the retrieval operation.   Related products: Smaller Van Veen grabs, click here.
	Drainage holes: The upper side is equipped with drainage holes to allow an outflow of water and to avoid creation of a shock-wave when the grab hits the sea floor.   Lids: The grab is also available with 2 lids allowing to take out some sample without emptying the grab. Ordering number 12.320.
	Release mechanism: A simple and relieable locking mechanism ensures a release as soon as the wire gets loose.
