Point Load Index Tester – Accurate Strength Classification of Rock Samples

The Point Load Index Tester is a robust and precise testing instrument used to determine the point load strength and rock strength index of core samples, irregular rock pieces, and block specimens. Widely used in geotechnical engineering, mining, geology, and civil engineering, this tester provides a quick and reliable method for classifying rock materials based on their strength characteristics.

Designed with a heavy-duty loading frame and smooth operating mechanism, the Point Load Index Tester ensures stable loading and accurate measurement of failure load. Its adjustable jaws allow testing of different rock sizes and shapes, making it a versatile tool in laboratory and field environments. This equipment helps engineers assess rock quality for tunnels, foundations, slopes, and excavation projects with confidence and precision.
