Eijkelkamp - Model Type Arnhem -Bed-Load Transport Meter

• The streamlined sampler is mounted in a frame and consists of a mouth followed by a basket of fine wire meshing (width of the mesh 300 mu).
• The sharp decrease of the velocity in the wide sampling chambers causes the sediment material to settle there.

• The results of the measurements are influenced by the shape of the bed (ridges, dunes, flat beds, etc.).
• For a successful measurement knowledge of the relief of the bed is essential. The sampler can be discharged on board using the sample trough.

• Samples rolling course sediment and gravel rolling on river bottom
