Digital Point Load Test Apparatus
Product Code : EL-RTLE-10505
Digital Point Load Test Apparatus (code EL-RTLE-10505) is a 60 kN point load frame for samples up to 102 mm diameter, with a hydraulic loading ram driven by a hand pump. A pressure transducer feeds a digital display of 2 × 16 characters that shows load in kN and MPa at a resolution of 32,000 divisions and ±1% accuracy, with a load pacer, a serial port for a PC and a ruler for measuring the distance between the conical platens.

What Is the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus Used For?
This apparatus carries out the point load strength test on rock pieces, an index test in which a specimen is broken between two conical platens and the strength is worked out from the failure load and the platen separation. The operator adjusts the frame for the sample, up to 102 mm diameter, reads the platen distance on the ruler, then works the hand pump while the load pacer helps keep the rate of loading steady. The display shows the load in kN or MPa, the distance is read again after failure, and results can be passed to a PC through the serial port. The standard listed for it is ASTM D5731.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus?
The load frame has a capacity of 60 kN, with a load range of 0 to 60 kN applied through a hydraulic ram driven by a hand pump.
What size of sample can be tested?
The frame is adjustable for testing samples up to 102 mm diameter, and a ruler on the frame gives the distance between the conical platens.
How is the load measured and displayed?
A pressure transducer measures the compression load and sends it to a 2 × 16 character digital display, which shows the load in both kN and MPa.
What are the resolution and accuracy of the readout?
The display has a resolution of 32,000 divisions and an accuracy of ±1%, and a load pacer is included to help the operator control loading.
Can results be transferred to a computer?
Yes. The display unit has a serial port for PC connection, so test readings can be transferred to a computer for recording.
Which standard is listed for this apparatus?
The standard listed for it is ASTM D5731, which covers the determination of the point load strength index of rock.
