Humboldt H-4210.12, Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 12in 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 12in Long, Galvanized is a must-have tool for any soil testing laboratory or construction site. Manufactured by HUMBOLDT, a trusted name in testing equipment, this tube sampler is specifically designed to extract undisturbed soil samples for laboratory analysis.
Made of thin-walled, hollow steel, the Shelby Tube is built to withstand the rigors of soil sampling. Its 3-inch diameter and 12-inch length make it the perfect size for extracting samples from various depths. The tube is galvanized, which means it is coated with a protective layer of zinc that prevents rust and corrosion, ensuring its longevity even when used in challenging environments.
One end of the tube is chamfered to form a cutting edge, allowing for easy penetration into the ground. The upper end of the tube features holes for securing it to a drive head, enabling precise control during insertion and retrieval. This design ensures that the soil sample obtained remains relatively undisturbed, making it suitable for testing density, permeability, compressibility, and strength.
The Shelby Tube is particularly useful for collecting samples from soils that are sensitive to sampling disturbance, including fine cohesive soils and clays. By minimizing disturbance during sampling, accurate and reliable test results can be obtained, providing crucial information for engineering and construction projects.
In addition to its sampling capabilities, the galvanized Shelby Tube can also be used to transport soil samples back to the laboratory. This eliminates the need for additional containers and ensures the integrity of the sample throughout the transportation process.
HUMBOLDT offers a full line of soil permeameters, permeability- testing equipment used to measure the flow of water through soil. These permeameters complement the Shelby Tube, allowing for comprehensive soil analysis and ensuring accurate determination of permeability.
Trust the HUMBOLDT H-4210.12 Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 12in Long, Galvanized for all your soil sampling needs. Its durable construction, optimal size, and galvanized coating make it a reliable and long-lasting tool. Whether you are conducting laboratory tests or sampling sensitive soils, this versatile tube sampler will deliver accurate and consistent results every time.
