About Split Spoon Sampler
This is used for standard penetration test for determining penetration resistance (N valve) of soil which can be related to unconfined compressive strength. Penetration resistance (N value) of soil is determined by giving a number of blows with a 65 Kgs weight falling through a given distance of 75cm required to penetrate the assembly to a depth of 30 cm when properly seated on the ground. The sampler is made from a steel tube split length wise held together by a head fitted with a ball check valve a hardened steel shoe in size cutting edge of 35 mm dia.

FAQs of Split Spoon Sampler:
Q: How is the Split Spoon Sampler operated during laboratory soil sampling?
A: The Split Spoon Sampler is manually operated, requiring no external power source. It is driven into the soil sample site using a drop hammer, making it highly suitable for both field and laboratory work where electricity may not be available.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using a stainless steel Split Spoon Sampler?
A: Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance, durability, and maintains sample integrity by minimizing contamination risks, ensuring accurate and reliable laboratory results.
Q: When should a Split Spoon Sampler be used in laboratory applications?
A: It should be used whenever undisturbed soil samples are required for analyses such as geotechnical investigation, soil stratification, or environmental assessments, especially when manual and portable sampling is needed.
Q: Where can I purchase or source a Split Spoon Sampler in India?
A: You can acquire the Split Spoon Sampler from various dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers across India who specialize in laboratory and geotechnical equipment.
Q: What is the process for collecting soil samples with a Split Spoon Sampler?
A: The process involves manually driving the sampler into the ground using a hammer, then retrieving it to split open and collect core soil samples suitable for laboratory analysis. The stainless steel body makes cleaning and sample retrieval straightforward.
Q: What are the main usage advantages for laboratories utilizing manual samplers?
A: Manual samplers offer ease of use, independence from power sources, portable handling, and adaptability to various sampling sites, making them practical for both field and controlled laboratory environments.
