Unconfined Compression Tester for Rocks
Product Code : JA-RT-9858
The Unconfined Compression Tester for Rocks (SKU JA-RT-9858) determines the unconfined (uniaxial) compressive strength of intact rock core specimens. The core is cut to length with its ends machined flat, placed in a loading frame - heated to a test temperature if required - and loaded axially with a continuously increasing load until peak load and failure. This rock UCS tester is supplied by JaincoLab for rock mechanics, mining and civil engineering laboratories.
Specifications
The tester is a loading frame for intact rock cores with optional heating to a test temperature; load capacity, platen size and readout are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the rock UCS tester
Students prepare a core with flat, parallel ends, load it steadily in the frame and record the peak load to calculate the uniaxial compressive strength.
- Uniaxial compressive strength of rock cores
- Comparing strength of different rock types
- Correlation with point load index results
- Tests at elevated temperature where required
- Rock mechanics practicals
