Sample ring kit, model E

The sample set with postfix SE, for very hard soils, can be used to take samples in virtually all soils. The samples can be taken on the surface, in auger holes or in profile pits, above as well as under the groundwater level. The heavy duty closed ring holder in this set is fitted with a conical threaded connection which means that the ring holder may also be hammered into the soil with an impact absorbing hammer.

The set, among other items, contains: a heavy duty closed ring holder, a handle with beating head, an Edelman- and a Riverside auger, extension rods, a hammering head with a guide cylinder, an aluminium case with soil sample rings and various accessories. The sample set with the postfix SE can be obtained for soil sample rings with a diameter of 53 mm (the most commonly applied [standard] diameter).

The samples are 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

• Available in the standard diameter 53 mm
• Can be hammered, applicable in all soils
• Sample ring protected by heavy duty closed ring holder

Applications

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