CORK Fluid Delivery Lines 底液輸送管

What are CORK fluid delivery lines (FDLs)?
CORK fluid delivery lines (FDLs) are pipes that are installed outside of the CORK casings. The FDLs are made of either stainless steel or Tefzel (an intert plastic , polyvinyl difluoride, similar to Teflon). Here is a picture of a FDL attached to a CORK casing before it was installed.  
什麼是底液輸送管？
其實就是水管啦，只是這個水管的材料是高級的不鏽鋼管或是鐵弗龍管，這樣採得的樣品才不會被鏽掉的CORK鐵管給污染到。

攀附在水下觀測系統上的底液輸送管，因為輸送管是在鐵管的外面，所以取得的樣水比較不怕被污染。
