Quartering Prolene Broom

Quartering Prolene Broom

The Quartering Prolene Broom is an essential tool specifically designed for accurate sample division, frequently utilized in conjunction with the Quartering Cloth Kit, though it is also available for individual purchase. Engineered for durability and precision, this broom is a cornerstone in laboratories and field operations requiring meticulous material handling.

It features a robust 16-inch (406mm) wooden head securely fitted with heavy-duty Prolene plastic bristles. Prolene is renowned for its non-absorbent and chemical-resistant properties, making these bristles exceptionally effective in wet conditions and crucial for preventing cross-contamination between samples. This ensures the integrity of your material testing results. The wear-resistant nature of Prolene also guarantees an extended service life, even with continuous use on abrasive materials.

Completing its sturdy construction is a 4-foot (1.2m) wooden handle, which offers a comfortable grip and ample reach, allowing for efficient and ergonomic manipulation of samples during the quartering process. This design facilitates precise collection and movement of aggregates, soils, and other granular materials, ensuring that representative samples are consistently prepared according to industry standards.
