Point Load Tester

Standards : ASTM D 5731 EN DD ENV 1997-2

The Point load test is an index test by which the rock is classified according to the strength.

The test can be used to estimate other characteristics of intact rocks with which it correlates, such as uniaxial compressive and tensile strength.

The test determines the strength index values at a point (Is (50)) and the anisotropy index (Ia (50)).

The anisotropy index represents the strength ratio at point load in the directions with the lowest and highest values of the strength index.

The test device consists of the sample load and force gauges, and sample dimensions (length scale) is also measured during the test.

Digital  Load Tester is used to determine the strength values of a rock specimen both in the field and in the laboratory.

The Digital  Load Tester accepts core specimens up to 4” (101,6 mm) diameter which are loaded by two cone shaped points.

A graduated scale indicates the distance between the conical points.

*** Digital Load Tester  maximum capacities are  50 or 100  Kn .

*** Digital Point Load Tester  is suppliyed with 

Manual  Hydraulic Jack ,Head , Digital Readout ,Transport Container and protector mask.
