Description

ABSTRACT:
A sampling device comprising a tubular member containing an auger and terminating in a cutting tool is disclosed. The tube is stationary and the auger is rotated by a motor positioned at the upper end of the tube. The cutting tool is located at the bottom end of the tube and is attached to the auger and rotates with it. Provision is made for collecting and holding a sample removed by the auger for ultimate analysis and testing. The entire assembly may be moved vertically for insertion into and removal from the material to be sampled. Because the cutting tool is located on the circumference of the bottom of the tubular member, the cutting tool will cut through and remove a cylindrical core of the material being sampled in such a way tha large loose pieces of material will not be pushed to one side of or fall into the tubular member but will be cut cleanly and a true representative sample of the material being sampled will be obtained.
