Sediment level stave standard set

The sediment level stave is part of the standard set to measure the depth of sediment down to a depth of 4 metres. The standard set can be extended to 7 metres. A sediment level stave is a sounding rod used for sounding the sediment layers in surface waters. Either a point or a sediment grid can be mounted to the bottom. The set comprises 4 sediment measuring rods of anodic aluminium with screw couplings. These rods are 1 metre long, and have a diameter of 25 millimetres. The sediment measuring rods are marked out in 5 centimetres markings.

The set also includes an elbow fitting for the measuring rods so that depth measurements in the sediment can be taken at an angle. A stainless steel grid and core point make it possible to probe the lower boundary of the sediment layer. In addition, this set makes it possible to penetrate to more solid substrate. The set is presented in a carrying bag.
