Humboldt H-4210.2563, Shelby Tube, 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long
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, 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long, is a high-quality product designed to extract undisturbed soil samples for laboratory testing. Manufactured by HUMBOLDT, this thin-walled, hollow steel tube is perfect for determining the density, permeability, compressibility, and strength of soil.
With a chamfered cutting edge on one end and holes on the upper end for easy attachment to a drive head, the Shelby Tube ensures precise and reliable sampling. It is especially useful for collecting samples from soils that are sensitive to disturbance, such as fine cohesive soils and clays.
Made from 16 gauge steel, these tubes are not only durable but also designed to withstand the rigorous sampling process. The tubes are available in a 2.5-inch diameter, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
One of the key advantages of the Shelby Tube is its versatility. Not only can it be used to extract undisturbed soil samples in the field, but it can also be easily transported back to the laboratory for further analysis. This makes it a convenient tool for soil testing professionals, allowing them to gather accurate and representative samples without the risk of contamination.
Please note that the size mentioned refers to the outer diameter (OD) of the tube. Additionally, the 3-inch and 5-inch tubes in this product range are galvanized, ensuring enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
If you are looking for a reliable tool to extract undisturbed soil samples for laboratory testing, the Shelby Tube, 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long, is an excellent choice. Explore our full line of Soil Permeameters to complement your soil testing equipment.
