Point Load Index Tester

Point Load Index Tester : Very useful for rock classification. This is a portable instrument and is useful in the field also. Uniaxial compressive strength for rock specimen can also be predicted approximately.
The instrument comprises of :- A three pillar type load frame on the base of which at the centre is fixed a 10 Tonne capacity hydraulic jack with a conical platen at the top of jack. The other conical platen is fixed to the top plate of the frame at its centre. A distance between two conical platen is fixed to the top plate of the frame at its centre.
