ESE-007-Split Spoon Sampler

The Split Spoon Sampler is a specialized tool designed for soil sampling, particularly for collecting undisturbed soil samples at various depths during geotechnical investigations. It is widely used in soil testing, foundation studies, and construction site evaluations to obtain representative soil samples for further laboratory analysis, such as determining soil composition, strength, and compaction characteristics.

The sampler consists of a cylindrical tube that is split into two sections, allowing it to capture a clean, undisturbed sample as it is driven into the soil. The unique split design makes it easier to remove the sample from the tube without compromising the integrity of the collected material. The sampler is typically attached to a drilling rig and driven into the soil using a drop hammer or similar equipment.

Made from high-quality stainless steel or hardened steel, the Split Spoon Sampler is durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging soil conditions. It is commonly used in conjunction with standard penetration tests (SPT) to obtain soil samples at specific intervals, providing valuable information about soil stratigraphy, consistency, and strength for the design of foundations, pavements, and other critical structures.

With its ability to collect accurate soil samples with minimal disturbance, the Split Spoon Sampler is an essential tool for geotechnical engineers, construction professionals, and researchers conducting subsurface investigations. It supports the assessment of soil properties and helps determine the suitability of the ground for various construction applications.
