The Soil and Plant Analysis Council (SPAC) offers standard soil scoops for soil testing laboratories. Standard scoops sizes are: 1.0g, 1.5g, 2.0g, 5.0g, 10.0g and 15.0g based on an assumed soil density of 1.18 grams per cubic centimeter as defined by the North Central Regional Research Publication No, 221 (1998) . Scoops are manufactured with 5.0” handles, along with optional high density foam grips.

Custom fabricated specialty scoops are available on a special order status, based on a specific volume and/or scooped mass. New for 2021 SPAC offers soil spatulas for tap and soil leveling. Spatulas come in two sizes 6” or 9” blades in length.

Scoops can be purchased via an order addressed to the SPAC secretary, RMiller@SP-Council.org.
