Slake Durability Device, 110 Vac, 60 Hz, 1 Ph

Determines durability and probable deterioration of rocks (shale and weak rock). over a period of time. Sample is exposed to repeating wet/dry cycles and abrasion. The Durability Index is the percent sample loss after subsequent wetting and drying cycles.

Assembly made up of base mounted motor drive unit, 2 stainless steel mesh drums, and 2 water tanks, all with quick release drive couplings. Drums rotate at 20 rpm. Optional extra drums & tanks allow expansion to 4 samples.

Drums' dimensions are 5.51 in dia. x 3.93 in high (140 x 100 mm). Assembly is 48 x 14 x 9.25 in LWH (1219 x 355 x 235 mm).

The 4ft (1.2m) wide base can accommodate a total of four Water Tank and Drum Assemblies. Additional Water Tank and Drum Assemblies, Wire Mesh Drums, and Water Tanks can be purchased separately for increased sample testing.

Slake Durability Apparatus consists of slake motor drive unit, two wire mesh drums and two water tanks.

Meets ASTM D4644
