Sonic Tooling the Geoprobe Way When we began development of the Geoprobe Sonic Tooling product line more than 10 years ago, it was with the understanding that we would do things the Geoprobe Way: we design the product, we build the product, we submit the product to rigorous field testing, and we continually improve the product. The product is made to the highest quality standards and it is on the shelf. When you call Geoprobe you can speak to a Sonic Tooling expert who is experienced with tooling in a variety of geologic settings and can advise you in tooling selection and application technique. We are not content to do what has already been done. There is a better way to do things, a better way to design things, and we aim to find those better ways and supply them to our clients. That s why you can find Geoprobe Sonic Tooling going into the ground almost every day at Geoprobe and that s why you will find sampling systems in this brochure that are exclusive to Geoprobe. Geoprobe Sonic Tooling is made to the highest quality standards and backed by unsurpassed customer service. That s the Geoprobe Way.

We offer bits with various carbide shapes and configurations as well as different sizes to meet your project demands. This includes: Smooth face shoes for softer sensitive soils that are unconsolidated. Carbide bits with unique water channels for cutting through consolidated formations (rock) where face flushing is needed. Specialty bits for unique applications such as ID carbides for undercutting cores and core retention. 7
Geoprobe Advantage! Conventional Sonic Sampling Sonic Casing (4x6, 6x8, and 8x10) Geoprobe Systems conventional sonic sampling systems provide a wide range of casing sizes and bit configurations. Conventional sonic sampling consists of driving your lead core barrel (sample collection) first and then overcasing it with a larger size casing. Once the larger casing has reached the same depth of the core barrel, the core barrel is removed, sample extruded, core barrel sent back down the middle of the larger casing and advanced out the end collecting another sample. Again, the larger casing is advanced to the same depth as the core barrel. This process is repeated to the depth desired. A long established casing configuration for this is using a 4 in. core barrel overcased with a 6 in. casing (4 x 6 Sonic Sampling). Other sonic configurations follow in this manner with larger inner and outer casing sizes. 4.5 in. 6 in. 7.625 in. 9.625 in. (8 in. nominal) (10 in. nominal) Geoprobe sonic casings have been uniquely designed with conventional sonic sampling in mind. When telescoping one casing over another, (such as 4x6) it is important to consider the spacing (annulus) between the telescoping casings. Geoprobe sonic casing is designed so that each incremental casing is sized with bit clearances, and annular space in mind. If there is too little annulus between casings, certain soils can cause them to lock up and become stuck together. If there is too much annular space between casings, then excessive water is needed to flush the soil between the casings. The Geoprobe sonic casing family has been uniquely designed so that each incremental casing size works efficiently with the next. Notice the similarities in the annular space between the casing sizes in the diagram. This results in a very efficient combination of casings for use in conventional sonic sampling applications such as 4x6, 6x8, or 8x10. Sonic Bits 8

Geoprobe Exclusive! Sonic Dual Tube 45 (SDT45) A Distinct Difference The Geoprobe Systems Sonic Dual Tube 45 (SDT45) is a unique and versatile sampling system that advances an outer casing and an inner soil sampler simultaneously. The SDT45 sample (3.0 in. diameter) is collected in a clear PVC liner providing a high quality representative sample. The 4.5 in. outer casing remains in the ground (cased hole) while the sample is retrieved with inner 2.25 in. probe rods. The system provides optional bits based upon geologic conditions (soils and rock) for more efficient sampling and recovery. The versatile SDT45 system can be used for many applications including, environmental sampling, varying types of well installations, cased hole applications, geotechnical borings, and exploration projects of numerous types.

Geoprobe Exclusive! Sonic Dual Tube 60 (SDT60) The Largest Sonic Dual Tube Available Needing a larger sample? Want productive, efficient time in the field? Tired of handling larger casing with conventional sonic methods? Geoprobe has developed the SDT60 sampling system A Dual Tube System that advances our 6 in. casing and collects samples without the overcasing conventional method. The core barrel is advanced simultaneously with the outer 6 in. casing. Our 2.25 in. inner rods remove the core barrel and the 4.3 in. diameter sample is collected into core bags. By advancing the casing and inner rod string together, you achieve an increase in productivity and minimize the handling of casing. DT60 Sample Sheath with 2.25 in.
