Augering and Extraction Kits Delta T Devices

Profile Probes are used within access tubes inserted into augered holes in the soil – correct installation is vital for accurate measurement of soil moisture profiles. The goal of installation is to produce optimal contact between the soil and the wall of the access tube. The augered holes should be straight, smooth sided and the correct diameter.

Delta-T augering kits help you achieve the best possible access tube installation in virtually any soil.
