One of the most useful, cheapest, and quickest ways of gaining access to formations for inspection and sampling is by trial pit or trench. In the simplest form, the excavations are hand dug with a spade. Deeper excavations may be made by machine.... The advantages of using trial trenches are many. The soil can be inspected in an in situ state, although some careful hand excavation of the sides of the machine excavated trench may be necessary... Bulk, block, or driven tube samples can be taken from the sides or floor of the trench. 4, record 1, English, - trial%20trench

Test trenches. Test trenches can be used to perform the same function as test pits but offer one distinct advantage, i.e., trenches provide a continuous exposure of the continuity and character of the subsurface material along a given line or section. 5, record 1, English, - trial%20trench

Where there are no automatic samplers, samples are taken by hand scoops or dipper samplers. These are dipped regularly into the moving stream of grain to obtain a sample representative of a total parcel. Where grain is stationary, such as in carlots or bins, a special sampling probe is used to obtain grain from different levels and at different points in the container. 1, record 3, English, - special%20sampling%20probe

À défaut d'un échantillonneur automatique, on prélève des échantillons à l'aide d'une pelle à main ou d'une puisette. À intervalles réguliers, on effectue des prélèvements dans le blé qui s'écoule, de façon à recueillir un échantillon global vraiment représentatif du lot. Si le chargement de grain est immobile, comme dans une cellule de silo ou dans un wagon, on se sert d'une sonde spéciale pour prélever des échantillons à différentes profondeurs et en différents points de la masse du grain. 1, record 3, French, - sonde%20sp%C3%A9ciale
