DIGITAL POINT LOAD TEST APPARATUS

The Digital point load test apparatus is used for determining the strength values of a rock specimen, both in the field and in the laboratory. Consists of a 60 kN capacity load frame with an upper and lower conical platens, a digital readout unit, pressure tranducer and a hydraulic loading bottle jack. The frame is adjustable for testing of samples up to 102 mm diameter. A ruler assembled on the frame allows the direct measurement of the distance between the conical platens before and after the test. The compression load is measured by a pressure transducer connected to an advanced digital easily transportable wooden case.
