SCOST® Introduction
Soil color is one of the most important properties used to identifying and classify soil horizons. This screening tool is an in-situ, percussion advanced instrument and builds off Dakota’s long history of developing rugged optical field tools.
The SCOST unit fits inside our LIF instruments or configured as a standalone unit. The instrument utilizes the same downhole hardware and fibers as our LIF instruments.
