Point Load Tester, Digital

Digital Point Load Tester 56 KN (Rock Strength Index) used to determine the strength values of a rock specimen both in the field and in the laboratory.

It consists of a load frame for applying loads, on which a manual hydraulic jack is mounted.

The applied load is measured by a high precision electric load cell with a digital display unit range 0-56 kN proving:

• 65.000 divisions

• 0.001 kN resolution

• Linearity: 0.05%

• Hysteresis: 0.03%

• Repeatability: 0.02%

The strength index (IS) is got by the formula P : D2 where P is the strength and D the space between the two conical points.

Supplied complete with wooden carrying case, goggles, accessories.

Dimensions: 15-¾” x 21” x 28-½” (400 x 530 x 720 mm)

Weight: 55 lbs.(25 kg) approx.
