DIGITAL POINT LOAD TEST APPARATUS AZA1003

AZA1003 Digital Point Load Test Apparatus is a high-precision hydraulic testing system designed for determining the point load strength index of rock specimens in laboratory and field environments. Built with a 60 kN hydraulic load frame and an advanced digital measuring unit, this apparatus delivers accurate, repeatable, and standards-compliant results for geotechnical, mining, and civil engineering applications.

The manual hand-pump operated hydraulic system allows smooth and controlled load application, while the adjustable frame supports rock cores and irregular specimens up to 102 mm diameter.
