Point Load Index Tester

		Point Load Index Tester

		This rock testing instrument is for determining the Point Load Strength Index of rock cores and irregular lumps which may be tested without any treatment. The Point Load Test is primarily an Index Test for strength classification of rock materials. This instrument is mainly intended for field measurements on rock specimen, but it can also be used in the laboratory. The results of the test may also be used to predict the uniaxial compressive strength of rock from correlations. The apparatus is light and portable, and can be used in the laboratory as well as in the field.
