VSI Soil Core Sampler - Specifications

Standard VSI Soil Corer Sets include:

50, 70, 90 or 110 cm long soil corer / sample tubes manufactured from stainless steel at three standard diameters (80, 68 or 58 mm outer diameter) with
replaceable crown / cutting shoe (hardened metal), and an extra crown (+screws)
handle to pull the corer out,
plastic pusher to extract the soil sample after sampling,
broom to clean the inside,
vibration absorbing drive head, used to drive the sampling tube into the soil, and
soft-head hammer.

Soil samples can be removed easily from the VSI soil sampler because the crown has a slightly smaller inner diameter compared to the tube. The crowns are hardened and field replaceable. The sampling set is delivered in a practical and robust carrying case. Every part can be ordered separately at a competitive price. The crown and corer tube diameter, length etc. can be adapted to needs e.g. allowing to use the system also for tight minirhizotron tube installation (order the corers outer diameter 2 mm smaller than the diameter of your MR-T and with a non-compressing crown).
