How to choose

For rock strength, the Hoek Triaxial cell is designed for triaxial testing of rock specimens, the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus has a 60 kN frame for samples up to 102mm diameter, and the Point Load Index Tester is light and portable for field or laboratory use.
The Slake Durability Test Apparatus rotates two or four drums of 2.00 mm mesh, 140 mm dia. x 100 mm long, at 20 r.p.m., with the percent loss of mass giving the slake durability index.
For specimen ends, the Automatic Grinding Machine grinds three 38 to 100 mm or two 150-160 mm cylinders at once to 0.05 mm planeness, and the Core Cutting Grinding Machine holds samples up to 55mm dia x 140mm long against a 200mm diamond cutter.
For coring, the Core Drilling Machine (Motorised) is a 2800W electric unit taking bits from 25mm to 150mm, while the two petrol machines use a 6.5 hp engine to cut cores up to 200 mm diameter from a wheel mounted frame.
For sawing, the Rock/Concrete Cutting Machine has a 350mm blade and 650 mm cutting length, and the Asphalt and Concrete Floor Saw takes diamond blades from 350 to 500 mm with electric motor or engine drive.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Rock Bolt Pull Out Test Apparatus include?

A central hole jack, a hand pump with load gauge, a 5 mts flexible hose pipe and high tensile bolts with coupling, plus an arrangement for a dial gauge to estimate deflection against load. A load cell with digital indicator can also be used to measure pull out load.

What are the features of the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus?

A 60 kN load frame with a hydraulic ram driven by a hand pump, a pressure transducer with digital display reading in kN and MPa, a load pacer, a serial port for PC connection and a ruler to measure the distance between the conical platens.

What speed does the Polishing And Lapping Machine run at?

It runs at 450/500 rpm with a 1 HP single phase 230 V A.C. motor. It is a compact table model with a 20 cm dia top, an adapter for polishing cloth or paste, continuous water feed and two sample holders as standard.
