Humboldt H-4210.36, Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 36in Long, Galvanized
Shelby tube samplers are thin-walled, hollow steel tubes, which are driven into the ground to extract a relatively undisturbed soil sample for use in laboratory tests used to determine density, permeability, compressibility and strength.
Each tube has one end that is chamfered to form a cutting edge and the upper end includes holes for securing the tube to a drive head. Shelby tubes are useful for collecting soils that are particularly sensitive to sampling disturbance, including fine cohesive soils and clays. The tubes can also be used to transport samples back to the lab as well.
Note: Size is OD. All tubes are 16 gauge steel.
3" and 5" tubes are galvanized

The Shelby Tube, 3in Diameter x 36in Long, Galvanized, is an essential tool for professionals in the field of soil testing and analysis. Manufactured by Humboldt, a trusted name in the industry, this product is designed to accurately extract undisturbed soil samples for laboratory testing purposes.
With its thin-walled, hollow steel construction, the Shelby Tube is capable of penetrating deep into the ground to collect samples that retain their natural structure and composition. This ensures that the samples obtained are highly representative of the soil conditions present. The tube is specifically designed to minimize disturbance during sampling, making it ideal for collecting sensitive soils, such as fine cohesive soils and clays.
Equipped with a chamfered cutting edge, the tube easily cuts through soil layers with minimal effort, facilitating efficient and precise sampling. The upper end of the tube is conveniently designed with holes for securing it to a drive head, ensuring stability during the sampling process.
One of the key features of this Shelby Tube is its galvanized coating. This galvanization enhances the tube's durability by providing an additional layer of protection against corrosion. This makes the tube resistant to the harsh conditions encountered during sampling and transportation, guaranteeing its longevity.
The Shelby Tube's compact size of 3in diameter and 36in length makes it highly portable and easy to handle in the field. Its 16 gauge steel construction further adds to its reliability and sturdiness.
In addition to its use in sampling, the Shelby Tube can also be utilized as a means of transporting soil samples back to the laboratory, ensuring the integrity of the samples during transit.
