Sample ring kit, model A, for soft soils to a depth of up to 2 m

The sample sets with the postfix SA are applied to fill the soil sample rings in soft soils above the groundwater level. The samples can be taken on the surface, in bore holes or in profile pits. The open ring holder in this set is fitted with a bayonet connection and is driven into the soil manually.

The set, among other items, contains: an open ring holder, an Edelman- and a Riverside auger, a handle and extension rods, an aluminium case with soil sample rings, various accessories and a carrying bag. The sample set with the postfix SA can be obtained for soil sample rings with a diameter of 53 mm (this is the most commonly applied [standard] diameter).

These are then used for, for example:

• moisture content at various moisture tensions, from which a pF-curve can be made;
• water permeability;
• air permeability;
• weight by volume;
• density;
• soil-water-air relationship at field capacity;
• pore distribution;
• oxygen diffusion.

Key Advantages

• The ideal kit for soft to very soft soils
• Lowest disturbance; no pre-cutting ring holder

Applications

• Soil sampling above groundwater table                            
• Soil physical laboratory research
• pF determination in the lab
• Laboratory soil density measurements
• Undisturbed sampling
