Point Load Tester, Digital

Digital Point Load Tester – 56 kN (Rock Strength Index)

The Digital Point Load Tester is designed to determine the strength index of rock specimens both in the field and in the laboratory. With a maximum capacity of 56 kN, it provides accurate and repeatable results for geotechnical and engineering applications.

Key Features

• Load Frame & Hydraulic Jack: Robust frame with a manual hydraulic jack for applying load.

• High-Precision Load Measurement:

  • Range: 0–56 kN

  • 65,000 divisions

  • Resolution: 0.001 kN

  • Linearity: ±0.05%

  • Hysteresis: ±0.03%

  • Repeatability: ±0.02%
