These are medium-weight suspended-sediment samplers for handline or sounding reel suspension. The DH-59 sampler comprises a streamlined bronze casting, 15 inches (38 cm) long, which partially encloses a pint-size (0.47-liter) sample container (sold separately). This sampler weighs approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), and is equipped with a tail vane assembly to orient the intake nozzle of the sampler into the approaching flow as the sampler enters the water.

The DH-76 is 17 inches (43 cm) long, partially encloses a quart size (0.95 liter) sample container and weighs approximately 24 pounds (11 kg). The DH-76 comes with an adapter sleeve and can be used with pint (0.47 liter) sample containers also. The operation of these samplers is identical to the operation of the DH-48. The samplers nozzles are calibrated and are supplied in 1/4 inch (0.64 cm), 3/16 inch (0.48 cm), and 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) red color coded nylon sizes. Sample containers can be furnished with the handline suspended-sediment samplers. Each sampler is shipped in a hinged, wooden box suitable for storing and transporting. The samplers can be supplied with a special epoxy coating for chemical and trace metal sampling.
