E-365-011001B: Handle, normal, 60 cm, bay. (incl. coupling sleeve).

E365-0111SE: Ergonomical auger set for heterogeneous soils, for ergo- nomical sound hand-operated augerings to a depth of 5 m. With unpainted augers for environmental research.

E365-0423SA: Sediment core sampler type Beeker, rod operated, with closable cutting head and piston. Standard set for sampling and discharging core samples, length 1 m, in bucket or jars. Suitable for sampling submerged soils to a depth of 5 m of very watery sediment to non- consolidated sand.

Eijkelkamp Soil & Water composed a prospecting kit for general geological surveys. The kit can be used for augerings in heterogeneous soils (agricultural and environmental soil research), to improve the mobility it comprises less different auger types. In this way it can be transported in a carrying bag. All augers, handles and extension rods are packed in a backpack. With this standard kit it is possible to execute manual augerings to a depth of 7 metres, without great physical effort. The set is also used to drill shotholes by hand in areas with difficult access. Each seismic field crew should have a set available for scouting and drilling purposes. The backpack ensures quick mobilisation and quicker tracking in the bush.

E365-04010130N: Single gouge auger, op. length 50 cm, normal type, Ø 30 mm. E365-04010330N: Single gouge auger, op. length 100 cm, normal type, Ø 30 mm.

The set is very suitable for sampling less cohesive soil layers below the (ground) water table to a depth up to 5 metres. The samples show little disturbance and therefore are suitable for very accurate profile description.

E365-010101071: Single edelman auger, clay type, Ø 7 cm. E365-010101081: Single edelman auger, clay type, Ø 8 cm.

E365-0710SZ: Sample ring kit model Z, for soil sample rings Ø 103 mm. E365-0753SA: Sample ring kit model A, standard set to a depth of 2 m. For soil sample rings Ø 53 mm.

The split tube sampler is an apparatus for rapid undisturbed sampling at the surface. The apparatus is very suitable for research on root systems, fertilizing and soil biology. The set consists of a split tube sampler with a handle with beating head, hammer with nylon heads (shock-absorbing), sample liners, storage containers and a steel lifting jack with lever and chain. The split tube sampler consists of two stainless steel tube halves with a working length of 40 cm. Undisturbed sampling often poses a problem when removing the sample from the sampling tube. With this type of auger, both parts can be easily separated. The sample is located (loose or in the liner) in the detachable tube. The split tube sampler can easily be opened for immediate research of the sample or transport of the sample to the laboratory. Depending on the nature of the research, it is recommended (in order to obtain representative samples) to decontaminate the apparatus after every sampling.
