Sludge and Sediment Sampler Kit

2" Multi-Stage Sludge & Sediment Sampler Kit, 5/8" Thread

During deployment of the sampler, the Check Valve Flap on the top cap opens to allow excess air and water to escape through the four holes that are machined through the top cap. Air and water are able to easily pass through the sampler. When the sampler reaches the sediment, the saturated materials are able to push through the Plastic Core Catcher and into the Plastic Liner inside of the sampler body as the sampler is driven downward. The venting action of the Stainless Steel Multi-Stage Flap Valve Cap prevents pressure buildup and allows the sample to enter the liner.

During retrieval of the filled sampler, the Plastic Core Catcher will be pressed closed by the weight of the sediment. This helps prevent the material from escaping through the bottom of the sampler. At the same time, the Check Valve Flap will cover the holes through the top cap – which creates suction inside the sampler. This suction also helps to retain the collected sample in the sampler body.
Please make sure any accessories you intend to use with your AMS Sampling Kits use the same connection type that are used in the kit.
