Frequently Asked Questions
What testing method does this equipment use?
The equipment utilizes the three-point bending method specifically designed for cylindrical rock specimens with straight incisions.
What are the required dimensions for rock samples?
The system supports cylindrical specimens with a diameter between 48mm and 54mm, with a length at least 3.5 to 4 times the diameter.
Can the software display data in real-time?
Yes, the industrial computer software provides real-time collection and graphical display of force, deformation cracks, and rock expansion curves.
What is the maximum load capacity?
The equipment supports a load range from 0 to 200kN with a precision of ± 5N.
Is an extensometer included for measuring cracks?
A clamp-type extensometer with a 3.0mm gauge length and a range of +2.5mm/-1.0mm is available as an optional accessory.
What is the displacement measurement range?
The travel range is 0-10mm with a high precision of ± 0.001mm.
