Shelby Tubes

Shelby tubes have thin-walls, hollow steel samplers, that drive into the ground to extract a relatively undisturbed soil sample for use in laboratory tests 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 sensitive to sampling disturbance.  They can also be used to transport samples back to the lab.
