Choosing the Right Gouge Auger

Gouge auger sets play a crucial role in profile research for surveying, soil assessment, and rootage surveys. It's essential to select the appropriate gouge auger based on the unique characteristics of your soil and the specific goals of your research:

  • Standard Gouge Augers:

    • These augers are suitable for soft soils such as peat, clay, sandy, or disturbed soils.
    • They are designed for tasks like surveying, soil assessment, and rootage surveys.

  • Heavy-Duty Gouge Augers:

    • Specifically developed for hard soils like loam and stony soils.
    • These augers are meant to be used with a hammer to achieve better penetration.

  • Single Type Gouge Auger Sets:

    • Best suited for conducting research on the topsoil.
    • Designed for examining surface layers and immediate subsoil characteristics.

  • Bi-Partite Auger Sets:

    • Used for soil research to depths of up to 5 meters, depending on soil composition and structure.
    • These auger sets offer versatility across various research applications.

It's important to note that the length of the operational part of the auger affects its sensitivity to torsion, which is influenced by the soil type. Additionally, the choice of diameter should consider the soil's composition, structure, and the research objectives. Generally, a smaller diameter is recommended for soils with a fine or dense structure.
