Hubbell Power Earth / Soil Probe Kits

The CHANCE® Soil Test Probe is a mechanical instrument which enables the operator to determine the condition of the sub-soil without core samples.

• 1800 in lb capacity
• A ratchet-handle torque wrench which slides up and down on the shaft is used to install or retract the probe.
• Torque wrench readings, in inch-pounds, provide a way to measure the consistency of the sub-soil.
• The torque values obtained are translated into soil classifications using the copyrighted CHANCE Soil Classification Table located on the inside flap of the carrying case.
• Torque readings are taken at the depth to which an anchor is to be installed, and at least 2 feet above this depth because the average earth consistency 2 to 3 feet above the anchor determines the anchor holding capacity.
• The probe shaft is marked at 1-foot intervals permitting soil evaluation at every foot of depth.
• The length of the Soil Test Probe (including helix) is 5 feet.
• Each shaft coupled to the probe provides an additional 5 feet.
• A durable carrying case protects the equipment when not in use.
