The Point Load Tester. In geotechnical practice, point load testing is performed to evaluate rock strength indices. The point load test apparatus and procedure allow for cost-effective testing of core or lump rock samples in the field or laboratory.
A point load is a force delivered to a concentrated spot on the support. A person standing at the free end of a diving board is a good example.
A point load is a single load that is focused in a very small area. Point loads are often measured in weight units such as pounds or kilograms.
The Global Point Load Tester Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The Model 6510 Point Load Tester is a portable machine used to determine the point load strength index of rock specimens in the field or laboratory.
The Point Load Tester, which is built on a two-column loading frame, employs a hand-operated hydraulic jack for load application and a strain-gauge load cell with a digital readout for load monitoring.
Peak load function, protective Perspex safety screen, platen separation indicator, and smooth retracting mechanism are some of the features.
The readout range is 0 to 50kN, and the core size can be up to 75mm in diameter. A microprocessor is used to provide enhanced load measurement with increased accuracy.
Examples of applications include, Compact aluminum construction with a sturdy carry bag for travelling, Measurement of direct load in kN or pounds force
Platen separation scale that can be adjusted, A 5mm point radius is provided by a hardened stainless steel ball placed into the platen points.
The operator’s safety screen, Holding holes in the base plate enable for attachment to bench or anchor plates. The open shape makes cleaning the instrument easier.
Microprocessor control for more accurate load measurements, Battery life of 15 hours, auto power off, Set to zero automatically The specifications are as follows: Range: 0-50 kN, Accuracy: 0.2% whole scale, Jack stroke is 76 mm, and the capacity is 67 kN. 0-50°C temperature range
