Gouge Auger Set

Often referred to as the “cheese corer” of Hand Augers, the Eijkelkamp Gouge Auger Set (#04.06) is a slim bodied, low friction Hand Auger used to sample soil to a depth of 25cm – 60cm.

Designed with a half cylindrical auger body, with parallel cutting edges running from top to bottom, the Gouge Auger Set (#04.06) is simply pushed vertically (without revolving the auger) into the soil. After insertion the gouge auger is simply turned clockwise, a core is cut loose, which can be removed with minimal effort.

Typical applications include:

• Contaminated sites assessment.
• Soil sampling above groundwater table.
• Soil sampling below groundwater table.
• Environmental soil research.

The arable land auger and mineral auger

The auger for arable land, with an operational length of 25 cm, is used to take samples from the furrow. The mineral auger, also included in the set, is used to take samples from the top layer up to a depth of 60 cm. Because of their operational length and small diameter these gouge augers are pre-eminently suitable for sampling of the top layers of arable land, in particular for a nitrate- or a fertilization research, etc.
