Product Description
U100 Sampling Systems
This equipment is designed for obtaining undisturbed samples in most soils and some weak rocks such as Chalk and Marl. The sampler produces a nominal 100 mm (4") diameter soil core, approximately 450 mm (18") long.
The sample tube with attached cutting shoe is driven into the ground by means of a Sliding Hammer.
A Drive Head (or Bell Housing) fits between the Sliding Hammer and the Sample Tube and contains an "overdrive space" and a ball valve. The ball valve allows air to be released as the tube is driven into the ground.
