Placed a fine SS mesh in the bottom of new STAVR scoop and took it into the surf for a waterhunt.
Small items that usually slips through the scoop holes are now easier to retain in the first dig.

I'm so looking forward to receiving and using the M-6.

First ear stud retained in a water hunt the small screen inclusion did its job.

The shape of StavR scoop made digging easy in the hard packed sand.

Detrackozi. M-10 diameter for the handle needed 30.7 mm (1.2 ") or 32mm (1.26") ?

of austenite stainless steel (aisi304) or of martensite stainless steel (aisi431) ?

ivanll · « **Reply #61 on:** January 30, 2012, 10:50 »

Many Australian measurements are old Imperial measures converted into Metric...........1/1000" or (1.26") is used in engineering but not in plumbing.

So the handles available here are 1 1/4" = 32mm.
It would be.......... VERY......... handy if the Tube for the handle on the scoop for Australia was 32mm (1 1/4" .....1.26").

Ruslan you are into engineering,................. you can make it happen.

ivanll. Yes, I 3 weeks I started as an option to put the pipe to handle 32mm = 1.26 "= 1 1 / 4"
there is option on website.
but the standard fiberglass pipe and is 30.6 mm = 1.192 " ....

you simply choose what you feel comfortable!

Just as a matter of interest,refrigeration pipe is measured outside and plumbers pipe is measured internally but we still go by 1/4 3/8 1/2" etc when buying pipe. The flare angles are different also being 33 and 45 degrees.

ivanll · « **Reply #64 on:** January 30, 2012, 20:53 »

Excellent customer service Ruslan, hope the choice of tube size is not going to create confusion.

With the amount of info available on the subject members reading these pages should have no trouble choosing a scoop and suiteable handle support tube.

ivanll.
I try to do as best as possible.
selection of pipe to handle the problems a little ....

more problems when I offer a selection of various grades of stainless steel(austenite or martensite) for a single scoop of the same model and different pipe ....

such as M-10 you can order four choices:
M-10 (A30)
M-10 (A32)
M-10 (M30)
M-10 (M32)
