Instruments used for Collection of Core Samples

The following points highlight the four main instruments that are used for collection of core samples. The Instruments are: 1. Hiller Borer 2. Russian Borer 3. Piston Sampler 4. Mackereth Sampler. 1. Hiller Borer (Fig.13.1): In this instrument the filling of sediment is done by turning the apparatus anti-clockwise. Here outer, loose jacket with a projecting lip remains stationary and [...]
