Ruttner bathometer
Ruttner bathometer Sampling is the first and one of the most important stages of chemical, microbiological and other types of analysis. The reliability of the results of subsequent measurements depends on its implementation. Errors resulting from incorrect sampling are almost impossible to correct in the future. As a result, further research, even using the most accurate and expensive equipment, may be pointless. That is why great attention is paid to correct sample selection. The most important factors influencing the correct sampling are the training of specialists performing sampling and the use of special equipment that makes sampling accurate, reproducible and eliminates contamination from the outside. The Ruttner bathometer is designed for taking water samples from a given depth of a reservoir when carrying out environmental, hydrological, oceanographic and other work. Description When diving, the valves of the device are open, freely allowing a column of liquid to pass through. Closing the bathometer valves at the required depth is done using a messenger weight lowered along a cable (line). A built-in thermometer is used to record the temperature of the sample being taken. The collected sample is drained through a special tap (plastic) located at the bottom of the bottle. All internal parts of the bathometer in contact with the sample are made of inert plastics. The flask of the device is made of a seamless acrylic pipe that can withstand high pressures or of polypropylene, in this case it is possible to use the device at negative air temperatures, and the device also has great chemical and mechanical resistance. The mechanism and frame of the bathometer are made of stainless steel. Mounted weights with a fastening system allow you to quickly change the weight of the device. When diving under current conditions, weights weighing 1 kg are installed on the bathometer, which reduces the deviation of the device from the vertical. To facilitate lowering/raising the bathometer in still water, additional load is removed from the bathometer. It is possible to make the Ruttner bathometer with a stainless steel flask in volumes of 1 and 2 liters. Benefits Simple and reliable design. Reliable trigger mechanism. All internal parts of the bathometer in contact with the sample are made of inert materials. Quick adjustment of the weight of the device. Equipment Scope of delivery: Bathometer. Messenger cargo. Passport. Case. Additionally it can be equipped with: Hanging loads. Calibrated line. High precision thermometer. The device is successfully operated in departments of Roshydromet, TsLATI, water management agencies, laboratories of universities and research institutes.
