Humboldt H-4210.10, Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 101n Long, Galvanized
Shelby tube samplers are thin-walled, hollow steel tubes, which are driven into the ground to extract a relatively undisturbed soil sample for use in laboratory tests used to determine density, permeability, compressibility and strength.
Each tube has one end that is chamfered to form a cutting edge and the upper end includes holes for securing the tube to a drive head. Shelby tubes are useful for collecting soils that are particularly sensitive to sampling disturbance, including fine cohesive soils and clays. The tubes can also be used to transport samples back to the lab as well.
Note: Size is OD. All tubes are 16 gauge steel.
3" and 5" tubes are galvanized

The Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 101n Long, Galvanized, also known as the HUMBOLDT H-4210.10, is a high-quality tool designed for sampling undisturbed soil for laboratory testing.
Made from thin-walled, hollow steel, these tubes are specifically designed to extract soil samples without causing excessive disturbance. The chamfered cutting edge at one end allows for easy penetration into the ground, ensuring that the sample remains intact. The upper end of the tube is equipped with holes for secure attachment to a drive head, making it convenient to drive the tube into the ground.
The Shelby Tube is particularly useful for collecting samples from soils that are sensitive to sampling disturbance. This includes fine cohesive soils and clays, which can be easily disturbed during collection using conventional methods. With the Shelby Tube, you can extract a sample without compromising its integrity, making it ideal for accurate laboratory tests.
In addition to soil sampling, the Shelby Tube can also be used to transport samples back to the laboratory. Its sturdy construction and secure attachment make it reliable for keeping the sample contained during transportation. This ensures that the sample arrives at the laboratory in the same condition it was collected, allowing for reliable and consistent laboratory test results.
To guarantee its durability and longevity, the Shelby Tube is made from 16 gauge galvanized steel. This galvanized coating provides excellent protection against corrosion, ensuring that the tube remains in optimal condition for a long time.
If you are in need of a reliable soil sampling tool that minimizes disturbance and maintains sample integrity, the Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 101n Long, Galvanized, is the perfect choice.
