Acker - Thin Wall Tube Sampler

This sampler is designed to take undisturbed samples in cohesive type soils and clays.-.The thin steel tube containing the sample may be removed from the sampler head and used as a container to transport sample to laboratory thus avoiding any damage to sample or costly delays in operation. In practice several replacement tubes are carried by crew to minimize disturbance, preserve moisture and cut down on delays in sampling procedure. The thin wall tube is made available in either steel, galvanized or brass and in varying lengths. This sampler is also commonly called a "Shelby" or "Chicago" thin wail sampler. The procedure for taking samples is outlined under ASTM Standard Procedures, whereby the sampler is pressed into the undisturbed clay or silts by hydraulic force.
