Shelby Tube Sampler
Thin-wall open-tube samplers (Shelby Tube Samplers) are used for soils that are particularly sensitive to sampling disturbance. They are suitable for fine soils up to a firm consistency, and free from large particles.
The sampler consists of a thin-walled steel tube whose lower end is chamfered to form a cutting edge. The area ratio is approximately 10%. The Shelby Tube Sampler gives good quality undisturbed samples in all fine cohesive soils, including sensitive clays, provided that the soil has not been disturbed by sinking the borehole.
Sample tubes are driven into the ground by a percussive method, using a Sliding Hammer.
