Equipment
The Ice Rod is a
heavy-duty, 1-inch (2.5 centimeter) diameter, lightweight aluminum rod
used for suspending ice meters in fast velocities. The lower section,
32.9 inches (83.6 cm) long, is built to screw into the standard USGS
ice meter. The rods are made with stainless steel screwed connections.
English unit extensions are 36 inches long, and all sections are
calibrated in feet and tenths of feet. Metric unit extensions are 1
meter long, and all sections are calibrated in 5 centimeter
increments. No sliding support is used with this rod as the ice meter
mounts at the base of the rod and is handheld for various depths of
flow. A protective foot attaches at the bottom of the rod as shown in
the figure to provide a base to measure depth at the bottom ice
thickening and to protect the meter during a measurement. The foot
locates the meter bucket wheel centerline at exactly 0.3 foot from the
bottom surface. The foot assembly is designed to fit through a
standard 8" diameter ice hole.

AA - ice meter by sounding cable with either a 30lb. or 50lb. sounding
weight. The linkage assembly is designed to allow the weight to tilt
