• The sampling tube is beaten into the soil using a falling hammer. After sampling the sampling tube can be sealed off with the PE covers.
• A sample on the split sample tube can be prepared for transport by covering it with another split tube and sealing the seams and closing both ends with covers.
• The hydraulic extruder can only be used to remove the sample from the ordinary sampling tubes. The tubes with the core catcher cannot be emptied using this extruder.
• The sample must be removed by tapping or by pulling the plastic liner in which the sample is bedded if the liner had been placed in the core catcher before sampling.
• Using the connection set, which has not been included in the standard set, allows immediate leaching test in the laboratory, without the need to remove the sample from the sampling tubes first.
