Soil sample rings are manufactured from stainless steel to minimise impact on the sample, other materials are available on request. One side of the rings can be tapered (outwards) to facilitate insertion into the soil (when using the 'direct' type 1 sampler and soil rings longer than the sampler head). High density polyethylene lids (top and bottom) are available for many standard ring diameters to provide secure sample storage during transport. Soil core sample rings are available in various diameters and height (see Soil Ring Calculator below), and with or without bevelling. Soil sample rings are sold in sets of 10 rings.
