TruCore Sludge Samplers
TruCore simplifies core sampling of wastewater and fluids, reducing turbulence.
Fluid is allowed to flow freely and virtually undisturbed into the 1-3/8″ inside diameter sampling tube because there are no restrictions caused by valves, stoppers, or flaps. This creates a “true core” sample of the contents of the tank or vessel. It also has a large sampling capacity of around 10 ounces per foot.
Description:
- Length: The 8-foot TruCore Sludge Sampler is approximately 8 feet (2.44 meters) long, providing an extended reach to access sludge or sediment layers within large tanks or basins without the need for physical entry.
- Construction: It is typically constructed from durable and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum, ensuring longevity and resistance to the harsh chemical and environmental conditions often found in wastewater treatment facilities.
- Telescopic Design: The TruCore Sludge Sampler is telescopic, which means it can be extended and retracted as needed. This feature allows for easy adjustment of the sampling depth to access different layers of sludge or sediment
- Sampling Head: At the end of the 8-foot pole, there is a specialized sampling head or scoop designed to capture sludge samples effectively. This head is typically made of materials that do not react with the sampled substances and is shaped to facilitate easy collection of sludge.
- Sampling Mechanism: The sampler may feature a simple hand-operated mechanism for opening and closing the sampling head. The mechanism ensures that the sample can be collected and securely retained for analysis without spillage during retrieval.
- Sample Preservation: In some cases, the TruCore Sludge Sampler may include a method for sealing the collected sample to preserve its characteristics until it can be analyzed in a laboratory.
- Use Cases: The 8-foot TruCore Sludge Sampler is commonly used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities, environmental monitoring, and research applications. It helps in the assessment of the quality and characteristics of sludge or sediment layers, which can be essential for regulatory compliance, process optimization, and environmental impact assessment.
- Safety: Using the TruCore Sludge Sampler minimizes the need for personnel to enter potentially hazardous or contaminated sludge tanks, enhancing safety and reducing exposure to harmful substances.
- Sampling Precision: The telescopic design and the sampling head's configuration allow for precise and targeted collection of sludge samples, ensuring representative data for analysis and decision-making.
- Maintenance: Routine maintenance is required to ensure the sampler remains in good working condition. This includes cleaning, inspecting, and potentially replacing parts that may wear or corrode over time.
