WS 316 SR Self-Rinsing Water Sampling System
Automatic water sampler for indoor or outdoor environments with self-rinsing capability.

WS 316 SR Self-Rinsing Sampler Overview
The WaterSam WS 316 SR is an automated water sampling system with self-rinsing capability, making it ideal for heavily soiled sample media. The system automatically rinses the complete sampling line including the suction hose, metering glass and distributor hose, with clean water. Frequency and components rinsed can be configured to suit the application and sampling method employed.
Consistent with the base-model WS 316, the WS 316 SR is a well-rounded automatic water sampler with generous storage space, allowing for extensive sample collection. Various sampling modes can be used including time, volume and event proportional sampling, ensuring data collected is relevant to the application. Additionally, flow proportional sampling is available with VAR-B, VAR-E, VAR-C or the peristaltic pump options. The WS 316 can conveniently be fitted with two separate sampling systems if required.
