TY - Generic T1 - Anodyzing or hardening the surface of snow samplers T2 - 6th Annual Western Interstate Snow Survey Conference Y1 - 1938 A1 - Marr, J.C. KW - Snow samplers, anodyzing AB - Anodyzing duraluminum equipment hardens and smooths the surfaces, prevents oxidation and discoloration of hands and clothing, and increases the durability of the equipment. Anodyzing is recommended for snow samplers. The smoother surfaces permit the snow cores to slip through the tube easier, and less wear is exerted on the threads of the couplings. It is suggested that the cost of anodyzing may outweigh the advantages.
