Application:
Sediment sampling in shallow lakes with a maximum depth of approx. 4 meters. Taking a good sample demands half-hard sediment.

General:
The corer head is manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel and mounted on a 4 meter (2 x 2 metres), O.D 28 mm stainless steel shaft with a solid assembly fitting.

It is very easy to mount the corer tube on a corer head with 2 pcs of nuts.

Under the corer head is mounted a non-return flap.

Operation:
During penetration the non-return flap and a shovel will be held open manually by a 5 mm polyester line.

After withdrawing the corer from the sediment, the hand held line has to be released and the non-return flap and the shovel under the corer tube will close.

Delivery:
