Van Dorn sampler [van ′dȯrn ‚sam·plər]
(engineering) A sediment sampler that consists of a Plexiglas cylinder closed at both ends by rubber force cups; in the armed position the cups are pulled outside the cylinder and restrained by a releasing mechanism, and after the sample is taken, a length of surgical rubber tubing connecting the cups is sufficiently prestressed to permit the force cups to retain the sample in the cylinder.
