Digital Point Load Test Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Digital Point Load Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/106) is a rock-strength testing frame used to split core and lump specimens between two conical platens and record the failure load in rock mechanics and civil engineering laboratories. Engineering colleges and geotechnical labs use it for quick strength-index testing, and its 60 kN hand-pump load frame adjusts for samples up to 102 mm in diameter. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Point Load Test Apparatus Used For?

The point load test is a fast way to estimate the strength of rock without cutting and grinding specimens to precise shapes. A core or lump is seated between the conical platens, the hand pump drives the hydraulic ram until the specimen splits, and the peak load together with the platen separation is used to work out the point load strength index. Students see rock failure within minutes, and site-investigation labs use the result to screen cores before slower compressive-strength testing.

For consistent results, note the platen gap on the frame-mounted ruler before loading and again after failure, and use the load pacer to keep the loading rate steady. The display shows load in kN or stress in MPa, and the serial port lets readings pass to a PC for lab reports — useful where engineering lab equipment in India is shared by large student batches.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity of apparatus per laboratory and the delivery location.
• The largest specimen you will test (the frame adjusts for samples up to 102 mm diameter).
• Whether you will log results on a PC through the serial port, so we can confirm connection requirements.
• Any spare conical platens you want quoted with the apparatus.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Digital Point Load Test Apparatus. The apparatus is made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so buyers deal with the manufacturer rather than a trader.

Engineering colleges, polytechnics, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets are supplied factory-direct. If you need spare platens or a repeat order later, ask us and the manufacturer handles it directly. Learn more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Related Civil Engineering Lab Equipment

Rock and aggregate test programmes usually pair the point load test with the following apparatus:

• Slake Durability Test Apparatus — checks how weak rocks resist wetting and drying, alongside strength-index results.
• Core Drilling Machine (Motorised) — extracts cores that can then be tested in the point load frame.
• Automatic Digital Compression Testing Machine — for full compressive-strength tests on prepared specimens.
• Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus — assesses crushed rock intended for road and concrete aggregate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus measure?
The Digital Point Load Test Apparatus measures the load at which a rock specimen fails between two conical platens, over a 0–60 kN range, while a ruler on the frame gives the platen distance before and after the test for calculating the strength index.

What specimen size can the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus test?
The Digital Point Load Test Apparatus has an adjustable frame that accepts samples up to 102 mm in diameter. If your cores or lumps are larger, contact us with their dimensions before ordering so we can advise on suitability.

How accurate is the digital readout?
The Digital Point Load Test Apparatus reads load through a pressure transducer with ± 1% accuracy and a resolution of 32 000 divisions, shown on a 2 x 16 character display in kN or MPa, with a load pacer to help keep loading steady.

Can the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus connect to a computer?
Yes. The Digital Point Load Test Apparatus has a serial port for PC connection, so readings can be transferred for record keeping and lab reports. Tell us which computer setup you use when requesting a quote so we can confirm the connection details.

Who manufactures the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus?
The Digital Point Load Test Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM that makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct to colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers.

Is a calibration certificate available for this apparatus?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus should be discussed with us before you order. Share your documentation requirement through our contact page and we will confirm what can be provided with your quotation.

What should a quotation request for the point load tester include?
A quotation request for the Digital Point Load Test Apparatus should state the quantity, the largest specimen size you test, whether PC connection is needed and the delivery location in India or abroad, so the manufacturer can quote accurately.
