Portable Point Load Test Apparatus

The portable point load tester provides an index for the strength classification of hard rocks and allows for a quick, non-expensive on-site evaluation of hard rock strength.
A sample of rock is mounted between two pointed platens. Pressure is then applied until failure (breakage) of the sample occurs. The peak-applied load is recorded and used to calculate the point load index.

The standard test-set is consisting of:

  • Hydraulic cylinder with conical pistons
  • Hydraulic pump
  • Digital-manometer with pressure and load display
  • Base plate
  • Operator protection set
  • Operating manual
