INTRODUCTION
The
WSP Grab Sampler 1
is a subsurface water-sampling tool designed to obtain samples from spillways,
boats, docks, etc., without physical entry into the effluent. It is constructed of 72” x ¾” square aluminum tubing
with a gold alodine finish. The
WSP Grab Sampler 1
provides two different size clamps for mounting various
size bottles up to 1000 ml. Typical uses include routine water sample collection for analysis ranging from
B.O.D. to the full range of priority pollutants. The
WSP Grab Sampler 1
affords easy waterway access,
eliminates surface contamination and assists in conforming to procedures described in the U.S. E.P.A’s
“Handbook for Monitoring Industrial Wastewater”. A 1000 ml borosilicate glass sample bottle with Teflon
lined screw cap is included.
INSTRUMENT SET UP (refer to fig. A)
1.
Select the bottle clamps (2) (3) which best fit the desired sample bottle.
2.
Slide the clamp onto the bottle to a point midway between the bottle shoulder and heel and tighten by turning
thumbscrew clockwise.
3.
Insert the rod end of the clamp into the hole provided at the base of the Grab Sampler with bottle cap facing
suction cup (7).
4.
Align the bottle so that the suction cup, when applied to the cap, is centered on the cap. It should be noted that
the unit will still function properly even if there is a degree of misalignment between the suction cup and bottle
cap. Tighten the bottle clamp by turning the clamp knob (12) clockwise.
5.
With a firm sharp motion, slide the pull rod (10) toward the bottle so that the suction cup adheres to the top of
the bottle cap.
6.
The unit is now ready for sampling (See Sampling Procedure).
