dredge
LAMOTTE BOTTOM SAMPLING DREDGE:

Stainless steel sampler designed for use on soft (sand or silt). A simple trigger holds the sampler open while lowering to cover uniform area. Scissor design closes sampler, retrieving volume of sediment to the surface. 3″ x 3″ x 7.5″ sampler. 5 lbs.

#1097: LaMotte Bottom Sampler $292.00

ekman
EKMAN BOTTOM DREDGE:

ponar
PETITE PONAR GRAB:

Designed to take all types of benthos sediments on all varieties of bottoms, except those of the hardest clay. When the jaws contact the bottom they obtain a good penetration with very little sample disturbance. Can be used in both fresh and salt water. A unique closing mechanism releases upon striking the lake or ocean floor. A "safety pin" prevents accidental closing in handling or during transport. Top surfaces are covered with a stainless steel screen to reduce shock waves and drift, and also help to prevent bottom sediments and organisms from escaping. 6″ x 6″ (145 cubic inches). Stainless steel scoops are at 90 degrees. One of the tapered jaws is equipped with an underlip for wiping free stones and gravel. Sideplates prevent loss of sediments and organisms when jaws close. Weighs 25 lbs.

STANDARD PONAR GRAB:

Scoops are constructed of 316 stainless steel a
nd lever arms are zinc plated. For use in fresh water only (this sampler will rust if used in salt or brackish waters).
- Center pivot for low bottom disturbance
- Tapered scoop edges for a clean cut
- Heavy duty hinges for high impact work
- Hefty scoop volume: 8200 mL
- 316 SS scoops and underlip
- Removable stainless steel top screens
- Self-releasing pinch-pin™
Widely used in fresh water for taking samples of hard bottoms such as sand, gravel, consolidated marl or clay, this sturdy dredge is a deliberately heavy device for biting deep into the bottom and has proven success at invertebrate recovery. The simple design means it is simple to use. Heavy duty hinges and hinge pin can absorb thousands of bottom impacts. Self-closing scoops have center pivot closing action. When the scoops strike the bottom, their tapered cutting edges penetrate well with very little sample disturbance. An attached underlip wipes the scoop clean of pebbles and cobble that would interfere with closing. By the same token, removable side plates prevent the lateral loss of sample as scoops close. This well-regarded self-closing sampler uses our patented spring-loaded pinch-pin™ that releases when cable or line slackens. A safety pin replaces the pinch-pin™ when not in use to prevent injury. Removable screens on top of each scoop allow water to flow through as it descends. This lessens the frontal shock wave and reduces surface disturbance. Both screens are covered with neoprene rubber flaps that close during retrieval. Choose all stainless steel for severe conditions. Ship wt: 67 lbs. Crane and winch recommended due to working weight.

Fasteners: 18-8 SS
Empty weight: 23 kg (50 lbs)
Full weight: 34kg (75 lbs)

flow meter
GENERAL OCEANICS MECHANICAL FLOW METER:

These compact, mechanical flow meters are designed for measuring flow in lakes, rivers, canals, estuaries, sewage outfalls, and offshore applications. They are ideal for determining water speed, volume, or distance. These general-purpose flow meters incorporate a precision-molded rotor coupled directly to a six-digit counter that registers each revolution of the rotor and displays it similar to an odometer (up to 999,999 equal to approximately 14.5 nautical miles). The counter is located within the body of the instrument and is displayed through the clear plastic housing. Flow meters are properly balanced so they maintain a horizontal position when suspended by a towing line. After completing each sampling, simply remove the meter and record the reading and time. By subtracting the first reading from the second, the average speed over a given sampling time can be calculated. Each flow meter measures 8-3/8″ long, 1-9/16″ in diameter and includes 18″ of tow line and a stainless steel connecting axle pin. High-speed impeller measures from 10 cm/sec. to 790 cm/sec. and Low-speed from 6 to 100 cm/sec.

Optional Wading Rod for the G.O. Flow Meter. This telescoping pole extends from 3′ to 9′ and has a stainless steel swivel fitting. Ideal for measuring flow in hard to reach places.
