1 Concept scheme: Material Sample collection methods

Vocabulary last modified: 2024-09-12

subtitle: Material sample collection methods focused on methods found in SESAR data (2024-08-31 dump), harmonized with CGI GTWG sampling methods draft, Geoscience Australia sampling methods, and SeaDataNet Sample Collection vocabulary. The SeaDataNet vocabulary is nominally about instruments, but many of the concepts implicitly denote methods.

  • Child of: Soft material coring
  • Coring that relies on the weight of the device for penetration into the seafloor. Geoscience Australia’s gravity corer consists of a one tonne weight atop a steel core barrel which houses an internal PVC core sleeve. The unit is lowered to a predetermined height above the seafloor using a wire rope before being allowed to freefall. The resulting core enters the internal sleeve and is held in place by a core catcher. The wire rope is then reeled in and the inner sleeve is removed from the core barrel and the core is processed. Gravity cores up to 12 metres in length can be collected with some systems but in practice recoveries are typically less than six metres. The gravity corer is designed for use in areas of soft, unconsolidated sediment.

  • sampling by pushing a device into seafloor sediments that extracts many tubular samples of sediment at once. The multicore has a cone- shaped aluminum frame. In the middle are eight plastic tubes. When the frame settles on the floor the center of the multicore slowly and evenly pushes the tubes into the sediment. The tubes are capped at the top and bottom and the multicore comes back to the surface with eight samples of sediment.

1.1.15.3.13 Piston coring
  • Child of: Soft material coring
  • Piston corers have a piston mechanism that is triggered when the corer hits the bottom. As the barrel enters the sediment a special internal piston creates a vacuum and helps to draw the core into the barrel. The piston helps to avoid disturbing the sediment. As the piston corer penetrates the seafloor the piston inside stops at the sediment surface. The action of the piston creates a pressure differential at the top of the sediment column. This allows the soft material to enter the core liner without disruption. A piston corer uses a ‘free fall’ of the coring rig to achieve a greater initial force on impact than gravity coring and a sliding piston inside the core barrel to reduce inside wall friction with the sediment and to assist in the evacuation of displaced water from the top of the corer. The piston-coring rig is comprised of a trigger assembly the coring weight assembly core barrels tip assembly and piston.

1.1.16.5.2 Evacuated bottle gas sampling
  • Child of: Gas sampling
  • A chemically inert and durable tube e.g. titanium quartz alumina or mullite) is inserted into the gas source, and allowed to thermally equilibrate with the gas; a specially prepared collection bottle with a high vacuum stopcock and sample port is attached to the collection tube. The bottle is prepared with a concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, carefully weighed and evacuated with a vacuum pump. As gas bubbles through the alkaline solution, acid gases such as CO2 H2S SO2 HCl and HF dissolve into the liquid. The remaining gases such as N2 O2 H2 CO and He collect in the headspace of the bottle. Geothermal system gases are typically omposed mostly of water and condensable acid gases that are absorbed into the alkaline solution, so many liters of gas can be collected in a single bottle. This method concentrates gases in the solution and headspace and thereby promotes better analytical precision. Typically used for hot (volcanic geothermal) gas collection.

  • Child of: Gas sampling
  • Insert a suitable chemically inert and durable tube (e.g. titanium quartz alumina or mullite) into gas source. After allowing the tube to heat until condensation in the tube has reached equilibrium with the escaping gases usually about 5 minutes a specially-designed flow-through sample bottle with a stopcock at each end and a hand- operated pump is attached to the collection tubing. The hand pump flushes out air and draws the gas into the bottle. This collection method is faster that the evacuated bottle method. It is used when a complete gas analysis is not necessary or where field conditions are too hazardous to safely make an evacuated-bottle collection. Sulfur gases are stable for only a short time so this type of sample must be analyzed within a few hours of collection.

1.1.19.7.4 Sediment grab
  • Child of: Water body bottom grab
  • Sediment grabs come in all shapes and sizes but they all do much the same thing to collect a sample of sediment from the seabed. Sediment grabs are often named after their inventors. For example the Smith-MacIntyre grab is lowered from ships and on contact with the seabed a split cylindrical bucket is triggered which scoops up about 10 litres of sediment. Another is the Van-Veen grab like a giant pair of tongs which closes two halves of the bucket together as the winch draws the cable in. Sediment is then evenly scooped into the large buckets. A sediment grab does not attempt to preserve the internal structure of the sediment which disginguishes it from soft sediment coring.
