Reliable and Accurate SamplingDesigned for precision, the Bentonite Slurry Sampler allows operators to retrieve undisturbed slurry samples from up to 50 meters depth. The plunger-based intake ensures sample integrity, while the manual depth indicator provides straightforward measurement with 0.1-meter resolution. Its durability and resistance to corrosion make it suitable for demanding environments.
Versatile and User-Friendly DesignLightweight yet robust, the sampler's stainless steel or aluminum body can be handheld or mounted on a tripod, adapting to various geotechnical and construction settings. The included high-strength rope enables controlled sampling, and its foam-lined carry case allows safe transport and storage. No external power is required, making it truly portable.
FAQ's of Bentonite Slurry Sampler 50 Meters:
Q: How is the Bentonite Slurry Sampler operated in the field?
A: The sampler is manually lowered and raised into the borehole or excavation site using the calibrated anti-corrosive rope. By operating the plunger mechanism, a slurry sample is drawn into the reinforced sample bottle.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this Bentonite Slurry Sampler?
A: The main advantages include accurate depth sampling (0.1 m accuracy), corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and no need for electrical power. It also provides simple, reliable operation and easy transport using the supplied carrying case.
Q: What types of environments is the sampler suitable for?
A: The device is designed for geotechnical and construction site use, handling temperatures between 0C and 50C and humidity up to 95% RH (non-condensing). Its robust, corrosion-resistant build ensures performance in challenging field conditions.
Q: When should I use this sampler during a construction project?
A: The sampler is ideal for routine and critical sampling of bentonite slurry during deep boring or excavation, such as when monitoring slurry characteristics for quality assurance or environmental compliance.
Q: Where can this sampler be used most effectively?
A: It is most effective at boring or excavation sites requiring sample collection from depths up to 50 meters, specifically in locations where direct access to slurry is limited and manual operation is preferable.
Q: What maintenance or storage requirements does the sampler have?
A: To prolong its lifespan, clean the sampler after use, store it in its carry case, and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its components in optimal condition.
Q: What is the maximum sample volume collected per operation?
A: The sampler can collect up to 1 liter of bentonite slurry per operation, ensuring sufficient volume for analysis or quality control purposes.
