Soil Samplers

AMS soil sampling equipment is commonly used for obtaining soil samples at or near the surface, or for digging holes between 1 and 7 inches in diameter.

AMS soil sampling equipment is used for environmental sampling and monitoring, geotechnical testing, agricultural applications, home gardens, installation of pest control bait stations, construction applications, and much more.

AMS soil augers are commonly used for obtaining disturbed soil samples at or near the surface and for boring to depths where samples may be obtained with a soil sampler or soil core sampler. AMS augers are available in all stainless steel for EPA testing or carbon steel bits with stainless steel cylinders for general soil sampling and augering. Perfect for augering shallow depths, AMS soil augers can also auger deeper depths and are generally limited by only the time and muscle of the user. ....

AMS soil probes are the most basic soil sampling tool for agronomists, geologists, agricultural consultants, farmers and other soil scientists. Like all AMS sampling equipment, AMS soil probes are robust and easy to use. Most are used to collect small diameter samples at or near the ground surface. They allow you to provide a quick soil profile or description, and to determine soil moisture content. Samples may also be collected directly into a liner with some models to allow for later chemi....

Soil core sampling equipment is used to collect virtually undisturbed soil core samples for soil profiling and environmental investigations. AMS offers soil core samplers, split soil core samplers, and multi-stage soil core samplers. All of these quality soil core sampling tools allow the user to collect soil core samples into removable liners. The split core soil core sampler also allows the user to open the soil core sampler body to view the soil core after sampling. Soil core samples ma....

AMS shovels and scoops are ideal for general purpose scooping and collection of disturbed samples. The AMS heavy-duty steel sharpshooter creates deep, narrow holes, even in hard, rocky soil. The durable stainless steel shovel can withstand caustic and corrosive materials that would normally damage other types of shovels, and is easily decontaminated for environmental soil sampling purposes. And, AMS scoops may be used for general soil sampling or compositing. AMS shovels and scoops are av....

AMS soil sampling kits provide complete, compact systems that utilize our most popular augers, samplers, and sampling components. Most AMS sampling kits include soil augers, soil core samplers, extensions, cross handles, slide hammers, and either a lightweight or heavy-duty carrying case. The carrying cases allow our soil sampling kits to be very portable and easy to keep organized. You can also purchase the items from any AMS soil sampling kit individually to replace worn parts or to create ....
