Shelby Tube for Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (10 Pack)

Shelby Tube for Dynamic Cone Penetrometer is a must-have for construction and geotechnical professionals, especially for collecting soils. This is a high quality product to collect soils and designed to extract relatively undisturbed sample especially from sensitive soils. Each tube is 3 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length and comes with 10 caps for added convenience and protection.

Designed to be used with the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer, this Shelby tube is part of the equipment. When used together they provide accurate and reliable data on soil compaction and strength by measuring the resistance of the soil as the cone penetrates into the ground. These hollow steel tubes are built for field work. Shelby tube samplers which are walled hollow steel tubes are best for collecting sensitive soils like fine cohesive soils and clays. The Shelby tube sampler is specifically designed to extract undisturbed soil samples for various laboratory tests.

Built to last with quality and durability in mind, this Shelby tube can withstand field work. Made from high grade materials for long lasting performance. The tube and caps are sturdy to ensure the collected soil samples are stored securely and no contamination or loss during transportation or analysis. This ensures that the soil sample for use in laboratory tests remains intact and reliable.

To help you get the most out of this product, an instruction manual is included in the package. This manual provides step by step instructions on how to use and operate the Durham Geo S-20035 Shelby Tube for Dynamic Cone Penetrometer. It also has tips and tricks to help you get accurate and reliable results.

Product Description for Shelby Tube for Dynamic Cone Penetrometer

Shelby Tube is a thin walled, hollow steel tube designed to extract relatively undisturbed soil samples for laboratory tests. These samplers are thin walled to minimize sampling disturbance. Made from galvanized steel, this tube has a chamfered cutting edge at one end for smooth penetration into the soil. The upper end has holes for secure attachment to a drive head. 2 inches in diameter and 30 inches in length, this Shelby Tube is best for collecting fine cohesive soils and clays that are sensitive to sampling disturbance. This design ensures the integrity of the soil sample is maintained and gives accurate data for various geotechnical tests. Tube samplers are thin walled to facilitate easy penetration and extraction of undisturbed soil samples.

Key Features and Benefits of Shelby Tube for Dynamic Cone Penetrometer

Shelby Tube has the following features and benefits:

• Thin Walled, Hollow Steel Tube: Minimizes sampling disturbance.

• Chamfered Cutting Edge: Easy soil penetration.

• Holes at the Upper End: Secure attachment to drive head.

• For Fine Cohesive Soils and Clays.

• Transport Samples: Allows samples to be transported to the lab without disturbing the sample.

• Galvanized Steel Construction: Durable for field use.

These features combined make soil sampling more efficient and accurate. Shelby Tube is used for:

• Laboratory Testing: To determine soil properties such as density, permeability, compressibility and strength. These tests are crucial to determine density and other key soil characteristics.

• Geotechnical and Environmental Studies: To collect undisturbed soil samples for analysis and decision making. The Shelby Tube is essential for laboratory tests that determine density, permeability, compressibility, and strength of the soil.

• Sampling Fine Cohesive Soils and Clays: Best for soils that are sensitive to sampling disturbance to maintain the sample integrity.

• Transporting Soil Samples: To safely transport soil samples to the lab for further testing.

• Compatible with Other Sampling Methods: Can be used with other methods like split-spoon sampling to get comprehensive soil data.

By using Shelby Tube, you can get high quality undisturbed soil samples for laboratory tests and geotechnical assessments.

Specifications

The Shelby Tube is crafted from thin walled, hollow galvanized steel, ensuring durability and minimal sampling disturbance. Measuring 30 inches (76.2 cm) in length and 2 inches (5.08 cm) in outer diameter, this tube is designed for efficient soil sampling. The wall thickness is 0.065 inches (1.65 mm), providing the right balance between strength and flexibility.

One end of the tube features a chamfered cutting edge, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) in size, which facilitates smooth penetration into the soil. The upper end includes holes for secure attachment to a drive head, ensuring the tube remains firmly in place during sampling. These technical specifications make the Shelby Tube an ideal choice for collecting fine cohesive soils and clays, maintaining the integrity of the soil sample for accurate laboratory tests.

Shelby tubes are designed to extract a relatively undisturbed soil sample, minimizing sampling disturbance and ensuring accurate laboratory test results. These thin walled, hollow steel tubes are not only easy to use but also convenient to transport, making them a cost-effective solution for soil sampling.

The tubes are perfect for collecting and transporting undisturbed soil samples for laboratory tests, including determining density, permeability, compressibility, and strength. The upper end of the tube includes holes for securing it to a drive head, simplifying the process of extracting the sample from the ground. The chamfered cutting edge at one end of the tube helps to minimize sampling disturbance and ensure a clean cut.

Shelby tubes are particularly suitable for collecting fine cohesive soils and clays that are sensitive to sampling disturbance. Their durable construction allows for reuse, further enhancing their cost-effectiveness. By using Shelby tubes, professionals can ensure the integrity of their soil samples, leading to more reliable and accurate geotechnical assessments.
