  • Description
Portable hydraulic point load tester that measures the strength index of irregular lumps and cores by concentrated loading between conical platens. Used in mine, tunnel and geotechnical field work.

Specification

A small hydraulic ram loads rock specimens between two hardened conical platens until splitting, and the failure load gives the point load index. It provides rapid strength classification without preparing precise cylinders. The rugged design is intended for field camps and site labs.

Features

  • Hand pump hydraulic loading with peak-reading gauge
  • Conical platens with 60 deg angle and 5 mm radius
  • Platen distance scale in mm
  • Strong carry case with all accessories
  • Suitable for diametral, axial and irregular lump tests
