Snow Sampling Tubes
Model 3600 "Federal" or Mt. Rose Snow Sampling Tube
The Mt. Rose or "Federal" type sampler is a
professional grade snow sampler based on USFS design
criteria. This set measures snow depth and water content
to determine snow density. Sensitive spring balance is
graduated in both equivalent inches and centimeters of
water. The sampler is made with 1 5/8" (4.13 cm) i.d.
anodized aluminum material. The sampler can be specified
in English or metric units with the standard USFS length
in 30" long sections and the metric in 1 meter sections.
The tubes are precision machined to a very specific volume
for accurate water equivalent measurements. The standard
sets can be ordered with up to eight sections. The
standard Federal cutter is a 16 tooth weighing 3 oz. and
is typically used for sampling up to 30 feet deep. For
deeper sampling than 30 feet or with layers of heavy ice
the McCall cutter is recommended and is a heavier duty
cutter weighing 6 oz.

Model
3610 - Adirondack Snow Sampling Tube
The Adirondack-type tube is manufactured of fiberglass
with a replaceable stainless steel 40-tooth cutter. The
tube is 4 feet (1.2 meters) long, 2 5/8 inches (6.67 cm)
i.d. and is marked in both English and metric units for
measuring the depth of snow pack. The tube meets USGS
standards for noncontamination when the core will be
retained for water quality analysis. Aluminum-type models
should not be used for collection of water quality
samples.
The scale is marked in equivalent water depths in both
English and metric units, to a maximum of 25 inches in 1/4
inch increments and 63.5 cm in 0.5 cm increments. The
scale is interchangeable with earlier model Adirondack
tubes of the same inside diameter.
The Snow Measuring Kit includes an Adirondack-type snow
tube with cutter and matching scale with bale.
