Russian Peat Borer, Complete Kit
The AMS 25030 Russian Sediment/Peat Borer Complete Kit is the ultimate tool for accurately and efficiently collecting sediment samples. This side filling chambered-type sampler allows you to reach any desired depth in the sediment profile and retrieve a discrete point sample without risk of contamination. The improved peat sampler, as detailed in Jowsey's study, highlights advancements in peat sampling methodology.
Using the innovative design of the Russian Peat Borer, you can easily drive the sampler to the target depth with the chamber in the closed (empty) position. Once you’ve reached the desired depth, simply turn the “T” handle clockwise to initiate the sampling process. The pivotal cover plate supports the cutting action of the bore as it is turned 180 degrees. The sharpened edge of the bore longitudinally cuts a semi-cylindrical shaped sample, ensuring a clean and accurate extraction.
One of the key features of the AMS 25030 Russian Sediment/Peat Borer is its ability to prevent contamination from overlying sediments. The contained sample is within the bore and can be easily recovered without any risk of interference from surrounding materials. To extrude the sample, simply rotate the sampler counterclockwise, and the sample will rest on the cover plate, ready for sectioning.
The core tube of the peat borer is made of durable stainless steel, measuring 50.0 cm in length and 5.4 cm in outer diameter, with a 2.0 mm wall thickness. One wall of the core tube is sharpened for efficient cutting through sediments. The solid Delrin core head and bottom point provide support to the stainless steel cover plate, which rotates freely inside the core tube. The cover plate itself is 2.0 mm thick and has been curved and sharpened to minimize disturbance when inserted into the sediments.
The AMS 25030 Russian Sediment/Peat Borer Complete Kit includes two aluminum extension rods, each measuring 1.0 m in length and 1.9 cm in diameter, with stainless steel coupling nuts for easy assembly. It also comes with an aluminum turning handle for comfortable and effortless operation. To keep everything organized and protected, the kit is housed in a plastic carrying case with foam inserts, ensuring that your equipment remains secure and in optimal condition.
Whether you’re conducting research, environmental studies, or geological surveys, the AMS 25030 Russian Sediment/Peat Borer Complete Kit is your reliable and efficient solution for collecting precise sediment samples.
Description and Features
The Russian Sediment/Peat Borer Complete Kit is a high-quality, side-filling chambered-type sampler designed for collecting sediment samples in various aquatic environments. The kit features a robust stainless steel core tube with a sharpened edge, allowing for efficient cutting through sediments. The pivotal cover plate supports the cutting action of the bore, ensuring a clean and accurate extraction of the semi-cylindrical shaped sample. This discrete point sampler enables users to drive the sampler to any point in the sediment profile, making it ideal for paleoecological analysis of bog and salt marsh sediments. The innovative design of the pivotal cover plate supports the precise collection of samples, ensuring minimal disturbance and maximum accuracy.
