Soil Coring Kit for Volatile Components Data Sheet

1Undisturbed soil samplingSoil coring kit for chemical soil researchA successful laboratory analysis starts in the field. The result of an analysis is as good as therepresentativeness of the soil sample used.The sampling procedure is basically determined by the analysis that needs to be executed on this sample.Sometimes a fast profile description is important; sometimes an accurate chemical analysis or the volumepercentage of humidity in a sample needs to be determined accurately. The stainless steel sample If it is not necessary to take surface tube is pushed into the soil from samples, it is essential to prebore the the ground surface hole to the required depth with the Edelman auger. Next the Riverside auger can be used to make the bottom of the hole flatNørregade 23-25· DK-7280 Sdr.

DABADKKK2Soil coring kit for chemical soil researchSoil sampling for the determination of the presence of very volatile components such as benzene, toluene,xylene and chlorinated hydrocarbons should be executed with samplers that prevent the sample frombeing exposed to air.Preferably the sampling must be done without disturbance of the soil aggregates to prevent mixing withair. These conditions must be maintained during transport to the laboratory.With the special coring kit, volatilisation and oxidation of components in soil samples can be preventedas far as possible. The sample under no condition comes, in touch with synthetic material. The methodmeets the NEN 5743 norm (soil or sediment sampling with volatile components). The sample has avolume of 200 ml. The set therefore also is suitable for the determination of volume percentages ofhumidity in samples from undisturbed soil.The samples are taken with a small coring apparatus fitted with thin-walled stainless steel sample tubes.The sampling tubes preferably are pushed into the soil; possibly a steel hammer with nylon heads can beused.After taking the sample, the sample tubes can be locked and cooled for transport to the laboratory. Heresub-samples can be taken from the sample tube, applying a small gauge or apple-corer. Also the samplescon be removed using an extruder. After decontamination the equipment can be used again. The setcontains among other things: an Edelman auger to pre-bore or clean the bore hole, in various types of soil,a stainless steel soil coring apparatus with a number of sample tubes, filling blocks and insulation plates.Further bottom caps, a sample extruder and maintenance material. The complete set is packaged in analuminium transport case. It is possible with this set to take samples to a depth of more than 5 meters. A deeper sampler is taken Immediately after removing the coring from the pre-bored hole apparatus from the sample tube with sample, the empty space is filled with a stainless steel filling blockAdvantages· Sampling system that meets the norm for determination of volatile components in soil orsediment.· Suitable for the determination of the volume percentage of humidity.· No exposure of the sample to air.Cont….Nørregade 23-25· DK-7280 Sdr.
