This application is met by the
Water FLUTe
system.
The
Water FLUTe system
(1-20 ports) is for applications in stable holes
(e.g., core holes in fractured rock or multi screened casing in unstable media).
For more information on the Water FLUTe system, go to Methods
(ground water sampling) or to the Water FLUTe system description. Water FLUTe sampling procedures are available. Hole diameters range from 3 inches to 12 inches, or greater.
The Water FLUTe system:
- Is Quickly installed,
- Seals the entire hole,
- Draws the sample directly from the formation,
- Easy to sample, and
- Removable.
The sampling volumes are especially large per pump stroke because of the unique Water FLUTe design.
The system geometry is shown in
Water FLUTe systems.
The Water FLUTe system is the most popular FLUTe system. Water FLUTe use is described in
Water FLUTe users.
The prices for Water FLUTe are provided as a function of number of ports and hole depth at
Water FLUTe prices.
Water FLUTe systems have been installed in casings as small as 2 inches in diameter, and through
driven casings (e.g., sonic casings) in soft sediments.
Publications on the Water FLUTe system are available for download.
