Sample Preparation
Motorized Horizontal Sample Extruder
Hydraulic Horizontal Sample Extruder ejects undisturbed soil samples
Motorized Horizontal Sample Extruder
Description
Hydraulic Horizontal Sample Extruder ejects undisturbed soil samples from full-size thin-walled samplers (Shelby Tubes) in one stroke. It is used in sample preparation for a variety of soil tests including triaxial, permeability, direct shear, consolidation, unconfined compression, and more in combination with soil lathe and trimmer. The smooth, easily controlled piston stroke permits easy handling and rapid processing of samples. The extruder can apply up to 70 kN of force to eject even stubborn samples. The hydraulic system precisely controls the horizontally mounted piston. The unit comes with a sample receiving trough to ensure minimal disturbance while ejecting and logging samples.
Adaptors have to be ordered separately.
If you don’t find the adapter kit suitable for your moulds/sampling tube dimension custom size are available on request.

Soil colour charts 16-D1860/B
Description
The Munsell Soil Color Charts are an affordable way to evaluate the type of soil that is present within a given area. The book is set up to make soil color evaluations in the field quickly and easily. The soil classification system that has been developed around Munsell Color System is an established and accepted process to assign a soil type. This classification system has been used in the United States for more than 55 years to aid in the management and stewardship of natural resources. Through the use of the Munsell Soil Charts, practitioners from a wide range of professions can share reliable and consistent information about the color of soils at a particular site with colleagues anywhere around the world.
