Shelby Tubes: 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long

Shelby Tubes: 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long

Shelby Tube is a thin-walled, hollow steel tube designed to extract an undisturbed soil sample for lab testing. The tube has a chamfered cutting edge to penetrate fine cohesive soils and clays with minimal disturbance and preserve the natural soil structure. The upper end has holes to attach to a drive head for stability and precision during sampling. This is perfect for collecting soils that are sensitive to disturbance, to get high quality samples to determine permeability, compressibility and strength. Available in 2.5in diameter and 36in long, Shelby Tube is suitable for various soil testing applications, works well in field and lab.

Shelby Tube, 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long for Undisturbed Soil Sample

Shelby tube samplers are thin-walled, hollow steel tubes, driven into the ground to extract an undisturbed soil sample for lab tests to determine density, permeability, compressibility and strength. Other common methods of soil sampling include the use of split spoon samplers.

One end is chamfered to form a cutting edge and the upper end has holes to attach to a drive head. Shelby tubes are good for collecting soils that are sensitive to sampling disturbance, fine cohesive soils and clays. They can also be used to transport samples back to the lab.

Note: Size is OD. All tubes are 16 gauge steel.

3" and 5" tubes are galvanized

Shelby Tube, 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long is a high quality product to extract undisturbed soil samples for lab testing. Made by HUMBOLDT, this thin-walled, hollow steel tube is perfect to determine density, permeability, compressibility and strength of soil.

One end is chamfered and the upper end has holes to attach to a drive head for precise and reliable sampling. Good for collecting samples from soils that are sensitive to disturbance, fine cohesive soils and clays.Made from 16 gauge steel, these tubes are tough and can withstand the sampling process. Available in 2.5in diameter, they are suitable for various applications.

One of the advantage of Shelby Tube is its versatility. Not only can it be used to extract undisturbed soil samples in the field but also can be transported back to the lab for further testing. This is convenient for soil testing professionals to get accurate and representative samples without contamination.

Note: Size is OD. 3" and 5" tubes are galvanized.

Looking for a tool to extract soil samples for lab testing? Shelby Tube, 2.5in Diameter x 36in Long is the way to go. Consider a Soil Probe Kit for additional sampling needs.

Specifications

Made from 16 gauge steel, Shelby Tube is built to withstand field sampling and transport. 2.5in OD and 36in long, thin-walled tube is designed to collect soil samples. Upper side has holes to attach to head for secure and controlled sampling. This design allows the tube to be driven smoothly into the ground and maintain the sample integrity. Thin-walled is essential to minimize soil disturbance which is critical for lab testing of density, permeability, compressibility and strength. Shelby Tube’s rugged yet precise design is a must-have for professionals who need reliable undisturbed samples for lab testing.

Applications

Shelby Tubes are used in site investigations and geotechnical projects to collect soil samples for lab testing. They are designed to maintain the natural structure and moisture content of the soil which is critical for density and strength. They are perfect for transporting samples back to the lab with minimal disturbance so the samples remain representative of in-situ condition. For construction, environmental studies or other soil testing applications, Shelby Tubes are an essential part of the soil sampling process, providing results for various lab tests. They are versatile and reliable, a must-have for soil testing professionals.
