The piston core "The piston core is our preferred coring device. It consists of a very heavy weight stand with a 60ft (18m), large-diameter core barrel assembly attached. A piston is placed on the inside of the coreliner and helps to recover cores with minimal disturbance. When filled with sediment, the entire device weighs nearly 6 tons."
