EIJKELKAMP Peat Sampler

The stainless steel peat sampler is a type of push auger designed to sample soft, saturated soils. The unique design uses a plate fin and a rotating half-circular sampler with a cutting edge along one side. Having reached the desired sample depth, the user turns the entire sampler 180° clockwise. During turning, the fin remains in position as the sampler completes the circle, thereby forming an enclosed core sample. The action of the peat sampler makes it suitable for only saturated or very soft soils. Peat sampler is available separately or in a standard kit.
