AMS soil gas sampling systems are efficient, easy to use and relatively inexpensive. AMS has been a leader in soil gas sampling technologies since the development of the “original” AMS gas vapor probe. Initially designed to take shallow gas vapor samples in soils to depths of about 4 feet, new technologies are allowing newer versions of the AMS gas vapor probe to easily sample to 12 feet, depending on soil conditions. AMS has developed and patented the dedicated AMS gas vapor tip and the AM....

AMS sludge and sediment samplers retain relatively undisturbed samples from non-cohesive materials, including underwater sediment in shallow lakes, streams, and various types of impoundments. The samples can be used for sediment profile descriptions, and geotechnical analysis. Samples for chemical analysis can also be obtained, but they are not suitable for EPA Level III or Level IV analysis for volatile organic compounds. These samplers are primarily used for shallow sediment sample retriev....

AMS Surface and groundwater sampling products have been designed to take liquid samples for the identification of water quality problems and can be used at discrete depths in a variety of mediums including, drums, tanks, lakes, and other surface and groundwater bodies. Sampling site requirements vary from site to site, including volume of water needed for accurate sample collection, field parameters being researched, and a variety of other variations. AMS offers sampling products that can ac....

Conduct geotechnical investigations of soil and rock around a site – including surface and subsurface exploration. AMS offers portable, in situ, methods for evaluating the strength and density of soil; evaluating the consistency, compaction, and bearing of soils; and taking direct readings of shear strength. For additional information on AMS geotechnical sampling and testing equipment see the 2010 Hand Sampling Catalog.

AMS hand sampling accessories will help you collect soil, soil gas, sludge and sediment, and groundwater samples using your AMS samplers. There are also a variety of accessories for cleaning or carrying your samplers, and storing samples. Please make sure any accessories that you intend to use with your AMS soil, soil gas, sludge and sediment, or groundwater samplers use the same connection type. See Connection Types.
