EKE 206-1 Point Load Index Tester
ENKAY introduces Point Load Index Tester, a rock testing instrument for determining the Point Load Strength Index of rock cores and irregular lumps which may be tested without any treatment. The Point Load Test is primarily an Index Test for strength classification of rock materials.This instrument is mainly intended for field measurements on rock specimen, but it can also be used in the laboratory. The results of the test may also be used to predict the uniaxial compressive strength of rock from correlations. The apparatus is light and portable, and can be used in the laboratory as well as in the field.
FEATURES:
- Equipment is light and portable
- Rock core specimens can be tested without any preparation
- The instrument can be used in the laboratory as well as at the drilling site
- The results of the test may also be used to predict the uniaxial compressive strength of rock
- With this instrument, a wide range of core sizes can be tested
- The frame has adequate adjustments to align perfectly the loading axis passing through the centre of the bearing plates and loading platens at position of the ram of the hydraulic jack
The equipment comprises the following:
EKE 20601 |
Loading Frame, fitted with Hydraulic Jack, hand operated, capacity 100 kN (10,000 kgf) |
EKE 20602 | Load Gauge, 0 - 25 kN (2,500 kgf), x 0.25 kN (25 kgf) |
EKE 20603 | Load Gauge, 0 - 100 kN (10,000 kgf), x 0.50 kN (50 kgf) |
EKE 20604 | Conical Loading Platens |

EKE 207 Brazilian Test Apparatus
Ref. Standard IS:10082
The instrument is designed to test specimens from 50 mm dia to 100 mm dia having thickness equal to half the diameter. A pair of loading jaws, designed so as to contact a disc shaped sample at diametrically opposed surfaces over an arc of contact of about 10 degrees at failure, is supplied. The set of jaws supplied with the equipment is designed for 50 mm dia specimen and therefore it is essential to order jaws for respective sizes, if other diameter samples are to be tested. A set of plain platens are provided with the jack which enable testing of cube and circular specimens upto 50 mm size for compressive strength.
The outfit consists of:
EKE20701 | Loading Frame, fitted with hand operated Hydraulic Loading Jack of 200 kN (20,000 kgf) |
EKE 20702 | capacity provided with self retracting Piston, pair of Plane Platens. Pair of Semi-Circular Jaws, for 50 mm dia samples |
EKE 20703 | Load Gauge, 0-200 kN (20,000 kgf) x 1 kN (100 kgf) capacity, provided with maximum Load Indicator |
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
EKE 20704 | Pair of Jaws, for 60 mm dia samples |
EKE 20705 | Pair of Jaws, for 70 mm dia samples |
EKE 20706 | Pair of Jaws, for 80 mm dia samples |
EKE 20707 | Pair of Jaws, for 90 mm dia samples |
EKE 20708 | Pair of Jaws, for 100 mm dia samples |

EKE 208 Slake Durability Apparatus
Ref. Standard IS:10050
- For determination of resistance offered by rock to weathering and disintegration when subjected to immersion in water
- Facility to test upto four sets of samples
- Quick couplings for assembly and removal of drums
The apparatus consists of a motor on base board capable of driving two or more drums at a speed of 20 rpm. A suitable number of plastic water troughs, each designed to contain a test drum with quick release drive assemblies, permit 1 to 4 drums to be driven at one time. The test drums are supported on water lubricated bearings allowing 40 mm unobstructed clearance below the drum and a trough water level 20 mm below the axis of the drum. Drums are made of brass and comprise 2 mm wire mesh cylinders of 140 mm dia and 100 mm length.
The equipment consists of:
Base Board with Motor Drive assembly with two drum and tank assemblies. Suitable for working at 220 V, Single phase, AC supply. Supply with EKE 20802 Electric timer, 0-30 min
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
EKE 20801 | Pair of Drums and Tank Assemblies, including coupling, to enable upto 4 test drums to be driven at a time |
EKE 20802 | Electrical Timer, 0-30 min. |
