Soil Corer for Large Cores with minimal Disturbance
Robust and Flexible Soil Coring System for Moderately Sandy to Stony Soils
Soil Core Sampler. We offer complete sets of soil coring equipment, manufactured according to long-term experience and field approved. The soil corer is used to collect minimally compressed, large soil cores for soil profile description, soil sampling for physico-chemical analyses, root biomass determination, and other environmental investigations including sampling for morphometric soil horizons, pollutants, microbes and soil fauna. Soil core samples are easily removed from the soil core sampler because of its unique design - the crown has a slightly smaller (~6 mm) internal diameter than the tube - reducing friction when extracting the soil core (entering the pusher from the crown-side of the corer and extracting the core toward the top end of the tube). The crowns are hardened and can be replaced (wit hthree scews) even in the field. Standard soil corer size is 58 mm inside diameter (i.e. soil core diameter; 68 mm OD of soil corer), 70 cm corer tube length - allowing sampling to ~60 cm soil depth. Choose 70 mm inner diameter / soil core diameter (80 mm soil sampling tube OD) for least compression rates.
Soil Corer - features
- Large diameter, minimally compressed soil cores
- Sample intact soil cores down to 100 cm, allowing for dissection into depth layers or morphometric horizons
- Variable length and diameter
- Easy sample retrieval by reduced friction
- Interchangeable crown, spare parts available - for years of intensive soil coring
- Shock-absorbing drive head - reduces stress on the tube and joints
Optional:
- Transport and Storage Solution for intact Soil Cores
