Point Load Tester, Digital
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.
