Important:
All photos shows transparent acrylic tubes; all 110 mm tubes are delivered with partially transparent PVC tubes.

General:
The construction of the sediment trap array ensures a permanently vertical position of the sampling tubes during deployment. The steering fin (optional) and the pivot joints force the array to be held at right angle to the current.

Options:
The system is fully configurable. All parts are detachable and the main rack can be attached with 1, 2, 3 or 4 tubes to suit your needs for analysis. The sediment trap consists of detachable cylindrical sampling tubes mounted with lead weights at the bottom. The gimballed tube holders and fin are made of AISI 316 stainless steel. The tubes are made of partially transparent PVC and have an aspect ratio above 6.

Available models with Ø110 mm tubes:
• 1 tube, 1 steering fin.
• 2 tubes.
• 2 tubes, 1 steering fin, 1 balance arm.
• 3 tubes, 1 steering fin.
• 4 tubes.

Note: All sizes of tubes can be manufactured upon request.

Deployment methods:
Seen to the image 9 is the 2 most common options of deployment for the sediment trap station system, the schematics are for your general information. Cannot estimate any details for buoys, anchors etc., as local conditions, current and depth range, etc., are to be considered and tested in practice.
