Description :
This paper reviews the design and performance of pit-type bedload traps that use pressure pillow and load cell systems to measure the accumulation of sediment. A low coast load cell bedload sampler design is presented. Temperature correction is shown to be necessary for each load cell. The results of laboratory and field calibration are presented and design improvements suggested. Field data output is illustrated.
