Point Load Index Tester

Product Description

Point Load Index tester, a rock testing instrument for  determining the Diametrical  Point Load Strength Index of  rock cores and Irregular Lumps  which may be tested without any treatment. The  Point Load Test is primarily as index Test for strength classified of rock materials. This instrument is mainly intended for field measurements on rocks specimen, but it can be used in the laboratory. The results of the test may also be

Features 

• Equipment is light and portable
• Rock core specimens can be tested without any preparation
• The instrument can be used in the laboratory as well as at the drilling site
• The results of the test may also be used to predict the  uniaxial compressive strength of rock.
• With this instrument, a wide range of core size can be tested
• The frame has adequate adjustments to align perfectly the  loading axis passing through the centre of the bearing plates and loading platens at the position of the ram of the hydraulic jack
