What equipment is used to collect sediment in water?

What equipment is commonly used to collect sediment in underwater water? In this case, we usually need to use sediment traps. A sediment trap is a collection device specifically designed for underwater or seabed collection of sediment substances in water. A sediment trap generally includes multiple components such as an integral frame, funnel, honeycomb grid plate, automatic turntable, and sampling bottle. During operation, the sediment trap is anchored at a specific depth in the water, collected through a funnel, and placed in a sample bottle.

Sediment traps are generally suitable for both marine and inland waters. The German KUM brand's deep-sea time-series sediment trap can be used at depths of 0-6000 meters and can be equipped with multiple specifications of sampling bottles such as 14, 21, or 41 tubes. At the same time, it can be set to work for 12 or 24 months according to customer needs. The overall layout is simple, the operation is convenient, and the software interface has a Chinese version, which is suitable for domestic operators to simplify the operation.
