Rock Strength Testers

The Compression Test Device for Rock Specimens jig is strictly compliant to the ASTM D7012 Rock core specimens Test Methods

Various Hoek cells dimensions are available: AX, 1.5″, BX, NX and HQ types Designed for high pressure capability All models are fitted with two quick-release self-sealing coupling One rubber sleeve is already included with the Hoek cell Links: Data Sheet

A portable device for determining the strength of rock specimens in the field. The CONTROLS Point Load Tester consists of a high stability load frame 100 kN capacity with hydraulic loading ram actuated by a hand pump. Complies with AS4133.4.1 – Determination of point load strength index

Advanced testing system suitable for extremely variable materials, from soft sandstone to high-strength marbles Determination of Elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and strength characteristics of rock specimens under uniaxial and triaxial conditions Automatic performance of triaxial tests with combined control of axial load and confining pressure Multiple failure stages triaxial test (stress – path mode) carried out automatically, the entire failure path is derived from a single specimen including post-peak softening phase Also suitable for load, stress, displacement and strain-controlled testing on concrete, fibre-reinforced and shotcrete specimens (with the relevant options and accessories) Fully programmable test procedures including axial load and confining pressure levels and combinations Integrated data acquisition and results elaboration including failure envelope plotting Extremely flexible system ideal for research purposes Links: Geo-Con Flyer / Brochure / Data Sheet
