The Wildco® Ballchek core sampler allows for
both shallow and deep water core sampling
applications. It is a gravity type sampler that
comes with a stabilizing fin. The Ballchek comes
standard with a 2" diameter, 30" long stainless
steel sampling tube. It is not considered a complete
flow through sampler and should not be used where
the water-bottom interface is important to sample.
The stabilizing fin is made of non-corrosive PVC
which offers both high strength and low drag
characteristics.
The Ballchek sampler has a simple, positive
sealing mechanism which acts as a check-valve and
prevents the sample from leaving the core tube
during raising operations. Check-valves are made of
tough, resilient polyurethane for long life and
excellent service. All parts that come in contact
with the core sampler are made of inert plastic.
Includes one 316 stainless steel core tube (liner
type, 30"L x 2" ID), two plastic liner tubes with
caps, two lexan nose pieces, two eggshell core
catchers, 100 feet of nylon line, and one PVC
stabilizing-fin assembly for high-strength and
low-drag characteristics.
Core-tube weight increases core penetration
(order separately below). Order replacement/extra
parts from "Accessories".
