A two-piece rod wiper system helps clean excess dirt and mud from rods before and after use. Use Rod Wiper Rubber alone when pushing rods downhole; great for use with MIP logging. The Rod Wiper Plate slides under the probe foot when pulling rods. Rod Wiper Rubber is 6.25 in. OD, 1.0 in. thick, with a 1.0 in. diameter hole. Used with Model 5410 and 66 Series machines.
Adjustable Center Rod Clamp
Prevent dropped probe rod strings!
This easy-to-use Adjustable Rod Holder gives you hands-free operation around your tool string while adding or removing rods. All of the work associated with the rod holder is done with your foot! The
Adjustable Rod Holder is used with the Macro-Core® MC5, DT22, DT325, and DT45 sampling systems when an inner rod sampling
string is used. It prevents rod strings from falling into the “black hole” and
eliminates costly downtime.
The rod holder grip can be hand-adjusted to conform with the different surface finishes of new and used rods. The rod holder allows the field operator to user their hands to remove or add rods to the tool string while using their foot to release or hold the inner rod string.
The rod holder sits on the outer rod string (either the ID of 3.25 in. probe rods or the OD of 2.25 in. probe rods). A notch in the front of the holder allows for easy, one-hand setup,” explained Dave Golden, Project Designer, “and the holder can be used anytime when inner rods are added or removed.” The rod holder can be used with either the Geoprobe® 1.25 in. Light-Weight Center Rods or regular 1.25 in. Geoprobe® probe rods.
