The sediment/suspended load logger measures the weight of a water column
in situ of a physically specified length compared with a reference with
an accuracy of about less than 50 ppm. Applications are transport of sediment/suspended
load by water flow, bed load transport and solutions in water like salt,
pollution in combination with suspended load etc., all depending the used
reference. The logger is identical to the already existing one except for
the sensor and sensor range. Installation costs are nihil, maintenance
almost not necessary.
The sensor is of a quite revolutionary new design and very small, 15
by 5cm inclusive the housing. The sediment/suspended load logger is assembled
in the operational form and the tests where also successful. Test in the
sand gutter (open channel for sediment transport tests) of "Delft Hydraulics"
where surprisingly good
