Sediment Trap Station Ø80 mm 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 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 transparent PVC and have an aspect ratio above 6.
