About UNCONFINED COMPRESSION TESTER FOR ROCK DIGITAL MOTORIZED
This equipment is used for determining unconfined compressive strength of intact rock core specimens. The rock sample is cut to length and the ends are machined flat. The specimen is placed in a loading frame and if required heated to the desired test temperature. Axial load is continuously increased on the specimen unit peak load and failure are obtained.
The Load Frame is extremely versatile and designed to conduct Unconfined compression test on rock specimens with diameters from 38mm to 100mm and AX, BX, NX specimens.
The Loading frame consists of a cabinet that houses the gear system and motor with sturdy angle iron frame. Loading is done through the bottom loading platen, which is carried on a lead screw that advances upwards. The top load bracket, which slides over two upright pillars, can be positioned at any desired height and locked. It carries a screw adaptor for standard Proving Rings or Load Cells.
