Particle Size Analyzer for Streams and Rivers - DISCONTINUED

This product has been discontinued. All support for the LISST-StreamSide has ended as of 3rd April 2023.

The LISST-StreamSide was developed specifically for monitoring applications, for example sediment monitoring in shallow streams and rivers or for storm runoff.

It can also be used as an in-line instrument system, for example in a flow-through system on a research vessel. The first units shipped in May 2008.

Sediment concentration ranges

Concentration range 10-8,000 mg/l. NOTE: Actual range is dependent on the grain-size and size distribution of the suspended particles. See table below for details and examples of concentration ranges based on measurements using ISO particle standards and easily obtained reference materials. SMD: Sauter Mean Diameter.

Resolution < 1 mg/l
