2021 Sedimplak: Sediment grain counting and analysis device
The University has developed an innovative device for sediment grain counting, along with a procedure specifically optimized for its use.
Technology Description
The sediment grain counting device comprises a base, preferably rectangular in shape, with an external wall positioned around its perimeter. Internal walls extend from this external wall, spaced apart to create grooves where sediment grain samples are distributed.
This invention aims to address challenges related to precision in sediment grain counting by avoiding duplication and errors. It streamlines the task, maximizing its effectiveness and efficiency, while enabling a detailed and accurate determination of sediment composition or other materials under study.
