Extraction & Sample Preparation

Extraction of undisturbed soil samples from sampling tubes of various diameters, with least disturbance depends upon the equipment used. Preparation of samples of required dimensions for a particular test without causing any disturbance is of great significance. Extruders of various types are detailed below.
