Device for use with measuring soil gas and method of use

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a device and method of use thereof for facilitating the analysis of samples of sub-slab soil gas that comprise an adapter body that includes, a first barbed portion, an external engaging portion, a threaded collar portion, a second barbed portion, and an internal cavity that axially passes through the length of the adapter body. The device may further include a tubular body with an interior cavity adapted to receive at least a portion of the second barbed portion of the adapter body to produce a mating engagement therebetween.

主权项

1. A device for facilitating the analysis of samples of a sub-slab soil gas beneath a slab, comprising:
an adaptor body, including:
a threaded collar portion adapted to provide a surface for a tool to contact during installation, said threaded collar interposed between a first barbed portion and a second barbed portion and wherein a downward-facing surface at a distal end of the threaded collar portion engages an upward-facing surface of the slab;an internal cavity passing through the length of the adaptor body; anda tubular body of flexible material having an inner cavity for receiving said second barbed portion in a mated arrangement; and an installation tool that is adapted to apply force on a portion of the adaptor body to effectuate installation of the adaptor body within a drilled core, comprising:
a stem having a first and second end, the first end having a pre-determined length of male threads located thereon, the second end intersecting with a handle;an installation cavity disposed within an at least one end of said handle, said installation cavity adapted to receive said first barbed portion; andan extraction cavity disposed within the first end of said stem, said extraction cavity adapted to receive said first barbed portion.
