The Dekaport Cone Sample Splitter was designed for
splitting a liquid volume from 1 to 10 equal parts. The
purpose of this is to build up a composite sample, split
sample for different required analysis and quality assurance.
It was primarily designed for simultaneous distribution of
surface water samples into bottles. Standard USGS procedures
recommend the cone splitter for suspended sediment
concentrations up to 10,000 mg/l. The splitting accuracy is
not known for concentrations from 10,000 mg/l to 100,000 mg/l
but the USGS data indicates splitting accuracy is unacceptable
at concentrations of 100,000 mg/l or more. USGS standard
procedures for organic compound samples require fluorocarbon (TEF)
tubing and suggest a separate set for each site.
The Dekaport TEF Sample Splitter is a pour-through device
machined from solid TEF used for splitting water
samples for a wide range of particle sizes and water volumes.
The spitter is 26 in. tall, has a 4 in. dia. reservoir and
uses 3/8" O.D. tubing.
Features:
- Constructed of 100% TEF for excellent sample
integrity
- Splits water samples quickly and effectively
- No flat walls, or benched surfaces inside the chamber
- Ten exit ports to precisely direct individual subsamples
into subsample containers
- Uses sufficient tubing size to prevent any back pressure
or restriction of flow from splitting chamber
- Designed for the USGS NWQA program.
- Integral bubble level for accurate performance.
