Load Frames are used to apply on the test specimen. The capacity and speed depends on the requirement of a particular test. Load Frames are used in C.B.R. Triaxial, Unconfined Compression Test etc. Load Frames are available in various models. The rate of loading is constant in electrically operated Load Frames and Load Frames with multi strains are also available.

 

This is used for testing rock, aggregate and core samples as well as out crop specimen in their original shape. This is also very useful for rock classification. This is a portable instrument and is useful in the field also. Uniaxial compressive strength for rock specimen can be predicted approximately. 

 

Specification:

The instrument comprises of:- A three pillar type load frame on the base of which at the centre is fixed a 10 ton capacity hydraulic jack with a conical platen at the top of jack.

 

The other conical platen is fixed to the top plate of the frame at its centre. The distance between two conical platens is adjustable by vertical movement of the upper plate of the load frame. Loading jack with integral hand operated pump and a pressure gauge 0-2500kg. x 25kg.
