- Fast indication of sediment type
- Flaps overlap on closing to prevent loss of sample
- Inert stainless steel construction
- Rod available for rod-operated use of the Ekman grab
- Equipped with drop-weight system so that sampling can be carried out at any depth
Method
Two thin hinging flaps are open while the grab is lowered. The spring loaded flaps close when a drop-weight is dropped (cable operated) or a button is pressed (rod operated). Samples can, therefore, also be taken from very soft top layers. The pressure of the sample prevents much loss of material. Nevertheless, please note that small stones or stalks may prevent the grab from closing properly.
