Strength Index
Point Load Index Tester
IS 8764
Point Load Index tester, a rock testing instrument for determining the Diametrical Point Load Strength Index of rock cores and Irregular Lumps which may be tested without any treatment. The Point Load Test is primarily as index Test for strength classified of rock materials. This instrument is mainly intended for field measurements on rocks specimen, but it can be used in the laboratory.
Digital Point Load Test Apparatus
ASTM D5731
Digital Point Load Test Apparatus consists of a 60 kN capacity load frame with a hydraulic loading ram driven by a hand pump. The frame is adjustable for testing of samples up to 102mm diameter. A ruler assembled on the frame allows the direct measurement of the distance between the conical platens before and after the test. The compression load is measured by a pressure transducer connected to an advanced digital display unit assuring the best accuracy and resistance to the failure shocks.
Safety Features
  •  Load range : 0 - 60 kn
  •  Digital display : 2 x 16 characters
  •  Resolution : 32.000 div.
  •  Accuracy : ± 1%
  •  Load pacer included
  •  Load measurement in both kn and mpa
  •  Serial port for pc connection
Brazilian Test Apparatus
IS 10082-1982
Specification
The instrument is useful for testing specimen from 50mm dia to 100mm and of thickness of half the diameter. This is to test for indirect measurement of tensile strength of rocks. The specimen is held in circular jaws, this is primarily similar to a compression machine and consists of a small load frame having sturdy base with two vertical threaded rods and an adjustable cross head. The hydraulic jack is fitted at the centre of the base of the load frame. The jack of the load frame is self retracting and two plain platens are supplied. A pressure gauge capacity 0-100 kn x 1 kn is fixed at the base of jack. A maximum pointers is also provided on the gauge, a pair of semi circular platens for 50mm dia samples also provided. The instrument can be used in field also.
Slake Durability Apparatus
ASTM D 4644
Plake durability apparatus, 220-240 v 50 hz
This test method has been developed to assess the deterioration of rocks over a period of time when subjected to water immersion. Slake durability is a simulated weathering test to determine abrasion resistance during wetting and drying cycles of shale and similar soft rocks as used in embankments and other construction-related applications. Samples are alternately tumbled in mesh drums through a water medium and oven-dried for two cycles. The percent loss of mass is referred to as the slake durability index.

The slake durability apparatus consists of a motorized drive unit which is mounted on a baseplate and which can rotate two or four drums at a speed of 20 r.p.m. The tank assemblies are filled with water to a level 20mm below the drum axis. The test drums are manufactured from 2.00 mm mesh, 140 mm dia. X 100 mm long.
