AMS, Inc. products

Easily collect sludge samples from the bottom of petroleum tanks with this unique & user friendly sampling kit. Based on the popular design of the ‘AMS Multi-Stage Sediment Sampling Kit’, the components in this kit are similar, only they are made from lightweight aluminum. This proves to be crucial, as often times tanks can be 50ft.+ in height; therefore keeping your sampler and extension strand ‘lightweight’ is a necessity. Having a solid/rigid extension strand gives the operator the ability to push and twist the sampler deep into the sludge.

AMS multi-stage sludge sampler, multi-stage sludge core tip, 12" multi-stage SCS base, three 12" multi-stage SCS sections, three 4` extensions, plastic liner, plastic end caps, 2" soil core catcher, universal slip wrench, two crescent wrenches, SST cross handle, slide hammer, and the AMS deluxe carrying case.

Stops caving sediment! Use this manually-driven sampler for discrete interval sediment sampling in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuaries. To obtain a sample, the sampler is lowered to the surface as a dual tube or driven down to the desired depth where sampling is to begin below the surface. Upon reaching the desired sampling depth, the inner rods attached to the internal drive tip are retracted and removed, and additional extensions are added. Then, the internal drive tip is released and retained in a chamber at the top of the sampler. Next, the slide hammer is attached, and the sampler is driven down to collect the sample.
