Point Load Tester, Digital

A Point Load Tester is a device used in geotechnical engineering to assess the strength of rock and concrete specimens. It applies a concentrated force (point load) to a small area of the material and measures the load required to cause failure, typically by fracturing or breaking the specimen.

Measurements of the applied force and specimen dimensions are taken to derive the point load strength index (Is(50)). This index serves as a dependable indicator of the specimen's equivalent uniaxial compressive strength. Engineers and geologists rely on this data for efficient and precise geological characterization and engineering design decisions, enhancing the effectiveness of various projects such as construction, mining, and infrastructure development.
