The LSS-72A is a device for subdividing a sediment sample
liquid volume from one to ten equal parts before laboratory
analysis. When a sample is poured into the funnel, it flows
into a series of thin rectangular chutes. Each chute leads to
one of two containers placed below the splitter body. Chutes
are staggered to approximate a random split of both particles
and liquid and thereby insure the two sample halves are nearly
identical. The splitter body is made from TFE fluoro-carbon
plastic sheets, the funnel is pressed acrylic plastic, and the
stand is made of type 316 stainless steel. Because only the
plastic materials contact the sampler, the device is suitable
for use in analysis for trace metals. The funnel may be
removed to facilitate cleaning. The inside of the chutes may
be scrubbed but only with a brush no wider than 0.24 cm.
