Solinst 115756 425-D Weight for 425 Deep DIS (2KG = 100m)

Overview

This essential accessory for deep groundwater sampling, the Solinst 115756 425-D Weight, is engineered to ensure the accurate and efficient deployment of the 425 Deep Discrete Interval Sampler in challenging deep-water environments. It directly addresses the critical issue of overcoming buoyancy at significant submerged depths, allowing the sampler to reach and remain at its target collection point. Each individual weight has a mass of 2 kg (approximately 4.4 lbs) and is designed to be added incrementally, with one weight recommended for every 100 meters (or 300 feet) of submerged sampler depth after the initial 100 meters. This strategic weighting system provides hydrogeologists, environmental engineers, and field technicians with the necessary ballast to achieve precise depth placement and reliable sample collection in very deep wells, boreholes, and other submerged locations.

Key Features

• Optimized for Deep Deployment: Specifically designed for the Solinst 425 Deep Discrete Interval Sampler to overcome buoyancy at greater submerged depths.
• Precise Weighting System: Each weight provides 2 kg (approximately 4.4 lbs) of mass, allowing for controlled and incremental ballast addition.
• Depth-Based Application: Recommended addition of one weight for every 100 m (300 ft) of submerged sampler depth beyond the initial 100 m.
• Ensures Accurate Sample Collection: Guarantees the sampler reaches and maintains its target depth, crucial for obtaining representative discrete samples.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of deep well deployment and retrieval.

Applications

Ideal for hydrogeologists, environmental consultants, groundwater remediation specialists, and researchers working with very deep wells, boreholes, or submerged testing points. This specialized weight is essential for ensuring the 425 Deep Discrete Interval Sampler reaches precise target depths for chemical profiling, contaminant plume delineation, and baseline water quality assessments in deep aquifers. It is particularly crucial in situations where the density of the water column or specific downhole conditions create significant buoyancy challenges, ensuring the sampler descends efficiently and accurately.

Performance and Characteristics

The Solinst 115756 425-D Weight delivers critical performance by providing the necessary downhole force to counteract buoyancy and ensure the 425 Deep Discrete Interval Sampler's accurate depth placement. Each 2 kg weight is precisely designed to integrate with the sampler, adding controlled ballast for specific depth increments (1 weight per 100 m after the first 100 m). This strategic weighting system is vital for achieving the desired sampling interval, preventing premature float-up, and ensuring the sampler remains stable at the target depth for proper filling. The durable construction of these weights allows them to withstand the high pressures and abrasive conditions encountered during deep well deployment, guaranteeing reliable performance in challenging field operations and contributing directly to the accuracy of deep groundwater samples.

Additional Information

This Solinst 425-D Weight is an indispensable component for optimizing the performance of the 425 Deep Discrete Interval Sampler, particularly for demanding deep-water applications. Its simple yet effective design ensures easy attachment and reliable functionality, streamlining field operations. By providing targeted ballast to overcome the challenges of buoyancy at extreme depths, this weight directly contributes to the precision and integrity of collected groundwater samples, making it a valuable investment for professionals dedicated to high-accuracy hydrogeological data acquisition. Its robust build quality ensures it will endure the rigors of repeated deep well deployments.
