Humboldt H-4210.530, Shelby Tube, 5in Diameter x 30in 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, 5in Diameter x 30in Long, manufactured by HUMBOLDT H-4210.530, is a versatile and reliable tool used in soil sampling for various laboratory tests. These thin-walled, hollow steel tubes are designed to extract undisturbed soil samples with precision and accuracy.
With one end chamfered to form a cutting edge and the upper end featuring holes for securing the tube to a drive head, the Shelby tube ensures seamless and efficient sampling. These tubes are especially useful when dealing with soils that are highly sensitive to sampling disturbance, such as fine cohesive soils and clays.
One of the notable features of the Shelby tube is its ability to provide relatively undisturbed soil samples. This is essential when performing tests to determine density, permeability, compressibility, and strength of the soil. By avoiding excessive disturbance during sampling, the Shelby tube enables accurate and reliable laboratory test results.
The compact 5in diameter and 30in length of this tube make it easy to handle and maneuver in various soil conditions. It is manufactured using high-quality 16 gauge steel, ensuring strength, durability, and long-term use. Additionally, the 5in tubes are galvanized, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.
Not only are these Shelby tubes suitable for soil sampling, but they can also be used for transporting the collected samples back to the laboratory. This eliminates the need for additional containers or equipment, streamlining the sampling process and ensuring the integrity of the soil samples.
Whether you are a soil scientist, geologist, or engineer, the Shelby Tube, 5in Diameter x 30in Long, is a valuable tool that will assist you in obtaining accurate and reliable soil samples.
