The Feritech FT520 Piston Corer is a standard and popular tool within the marine industry, combining operational safety with survey efficiency and reliability. The improved recovery and less disturbed sediment samples yields a higher quality result compared to that of a standard Gravity Corer.
The system is supplied with configurable weights allowing for 49-816kg of additional weight (available in steel and lead), controlling penetration for a range of projects – coastal environments to deep water locations, and everything in between.
The Piston Corer creates a vacuum when collecting a sample, therefore maximising the quality of sample recovery. Feritech also offers a range of LARS equipment, suitable for a wide range of projects to help improve the efficiency of the deployment and recovery process with our Piston Corer.
