Hampshire based oceanographic marine instrument and systems provider, OSIL (Ocean Scientific International Limited), are excited to present their new cost-effective and robust sediment sampler – the Gravity Corer.
OSIL’s Gravity Corer is a simple and reliable instrument for collecting sediment cores from coastal and deepwater sites for sample analysis. The corer utilises gravity’s pull to penetrate deep into the seabed using its carbon steel core barrel, which can collect samples of up to three metres in length. The stabilising fins ensure that the corer penetrates the seabed in a straight line.
The Gravity Corer is totally customisable and comes with lead weights comprising of four layers, each weighing 67kg. Each layer comes in two segments and the total added weight is 268kg.
OSIL Director, Richard Williams explains, “The Gravity Corer has been designed with careful consideration for its purpose. A replaceable core liner is housed within the carbon steel barrel to ensure that it is simple to remove the collected sample. The barrel is fitted with a sharpened replaceable carbon steel core cutter to ensure minimal disturbance. In addition, sample loss on retrieval is minimised by a core catcher fitted inside the end of the barrel.”
OSIL’s Gravity Corer can be easily customised to for a wide variety of applications. The Corer’s simplistic design results in little need for maintenance and can be galvanised or painted to the customer’s requirement.
The new Gravity Corer compliments OSIL’s existing range of Corers which includes the Mini Box Corer, the Box Corer, the Square Box Gravity Corer, and the industry standard Multiple Corer.
