Used to determine the strength values of a rock specimen both in the field and in the laboratory.

It consists of a load frame for applying loads, on which a manual hydraulic jack is mounted. The applied load is measured by a high precision electric load cell with a digital display unit range 0-56 kN.

A ruler mounted on the frame allows for direct measurement of the distance D between the conical platens before and after the test.

The compression load is measured by a pressure transducer with an advanced digital display unit, assuring the best accuracy and resistance to failure shocks.

Supplied complete with wooden carrying case, goggles and accessories.

Capacity: 56 kN
