Geotechnical Test Equipment
Point Load Tester
Point Load Tester

ROCK & CONCRETE CORE TESTING INSTRUMENTATION


FEATURES
• High pressure 10 ton or 98kN range
• Conical platens conform to ISRM method
• Air driven hydraulic foot pump
• Automatic repetitive jacking action producing
consistent & improved results
• Easy, reliable testing for large volumes
• Large 0-102mm core samples test capacity
• Peak load digital manometer gauge
• Heavy duty with protective shield
• Extreme rigidity & solid base prevents toppling
• RS232 digital option for recording data on PC


APPLICATIONS
Used in mining and civil construction this instrument is used to determine point load strength index of rock or concrete core samples. Point load strength provides a method for establishing rock strength classification. It also indicates rock anisotropy which assists in prediction of rock strength properties such as uniaxial tensile and compressive strengths. The PLT-10 is a simple portable apparatus used for testing rock samples or cores. With a maximum loading capacity of ten tons, it accepts drill cores or rock lumps of different sizes having a maximum length of 102 mm.
