04.02 Bi-Partite Gouge Augers

The selection of the most suitable diameter depends on the composition and the structure of the soil and on the purpose of the research. In general, a smaller diameter is applied in soils with a fine and/or dense structure, by comparison to soils with a loose structure (for instance young swampy peat). The bi-partite gouge augers can be extended by coupling an extension rod. In this way, samplings can be carried out in a very short time and greater depths can be reached. The bi-partite gouge auger set SA is a standard set for sampling in more or less soft soils to a depth of 5 metres. The set has a bayonet connection and contains gouge augers with various lengths and diameters, and Edelman auger, extension accessories, push-/pull handle and a strong carrying bag for transport in the field
