C-Free
Chamber Water Sampler, Model 114
Description:
The C-Free Chamber Water Sampler is a nonmetallic, sturdy body
construction made of grey PVC. This product provides the
same basic performance as the Niskin type water sampler.
Additionally, its internal chamber is free of any source of
contamination. The closing mechanism is of a ball-valve
type activated by an external power cord. The
effectiveness of the seal is ensured continuously even in the
event the power cord becomes weak or damaged. Also, this
arrangement ensures a very reliable seal, eliminating any
leakage caused by accidental bumping or shaking of the sampler
during recovery.
During deployment the sampler has
both ends open allowing for free-flushing for accurate layer
sampling.
The absence of an internal source
of contamination allows for storing the sample inside the
sampler for an extended period of time before being drained.
A pressure release valve can be
added for close-open-close deployment. This feature
prevents contamination from the surface layer of water.
