This apparatus is 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 up to 55 kN, a mounted hydraulic ram and a pressure gauge have 0.001 kN precision for maximum load indication. An upper conical platen is fixed on the frame and a lower one on the jack piston. A graduated scale is fixed on the frame and indicates the specimen diameter. BESMAK Pressure Gauge Indicator gives results with different units; kN, N, t, kg, bar. The system has a digital display that continuously monitors applied load and direct reading of specimen diameter. It is portable and light design. Tester accepts core specimens up to 101.6 mm (4) in diameter.
