1.0 INTRODUCTION
The GCTS Point Load Tester is an easy to use apparatus for measuring the point load
strength index of random and irregular shaped rock specimens. It incorporates digital
technology to increase precision and ease of use while reducing size and weight. The
introduction of a pressure sensor to indicate load provides a better accuracy at any load
level eliminating the imprecision of traditional pressure gauges at low loads.
The point load test does not require costly specimen preparation and is a quick and simple
test. The test can be performed in the field on irregular pieces of rocks allowing a large
number of test results. Typically, tests are performed on pieces of drill core at least 1.4
times as long as the diameter. Shape errors should be avoided for platy or discoid
specimens by applying the load along the shortest specimen dimension. The point load
strength index, Is, is defined as:

Where, P = Load at rupture, and
D = Distance between the loading point.
The point load strength index is corrected for a specimen with a 50 mm diameter, and the
following formula gives the size corrected point load strength index:

Franklin and Dusseault give a size correction factor when there is no data to interpolate or
extrapolate. The correction factor, F, is calculated as:

A typical frequently used correlation between size corrected point load strength index and
Unconfined compression strength is:

Where, Unconfined compression strength for cylinders with a length to diameter ratio
of 2 to 1, and
C = Conversion Factor from to .
9

The Conversion Factor C has traditionally been taken as 24 (Goodman, 1989, p.37),
however since point load testing is an index testing it is the responsibility of the user to
ensure that they are using the right conversion factor for their rock type. This can be done
by either relying on past data to establish a correlation between to or by testing
several rock cores to establish a correlation. Conversion Factor C may vary
significantly. According to Franklin and Dusseault, while the conversion factor is usually
between 20 and 25, it can vary between 15 and 50. Rusnak and Mark found that the low
end can even be 12.6. In theory, each rock type should have its own conversion factor.
The user is encouraged to pick a Conversion Factor C of 24 only if such a conversion
factor is justifiable.
The system includes a meter display to read the applied load calibrated in kN as default.
Other load units can also be used but recalibration of the meter display is necessary. A 0 to
2 VDC output is also provided to connect to a data acquisition device.
An advanced option for the GCTS Point Load Tester is the ultrasonic platens for the
measurement of P wave velocity. The P wave velocity is a more rational and better
correlation to strength than the point load index. The major advantage of the ultrasonic
velocity option is that, like the point load test, it does not require expensive specimen
preparation. With this option the P wave velocity is measured during the point load test.
This option also gives the advantage of being able to correlate the P wave velocity with the
point load strength on the same specimen in a very short period of time.
Other options include unconfined compression loading platens, triaxial cells, and frames for
performing indirect tension, uniaxial, and triaxial tests on small specimens. Loads up to 100
kN (22 kips) can be applied. These options include software to capture the complete stress-
strain curve and automatically calculate strength parameters.

3.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
Gauge Setup
It is advantageous to setup the Gauge to remember and display the peak/maximum load,
especially if the PLT is not connected to the PntLoad software. The instruction manuals for
these gauges can either be downloaded from the internet or you can request them from
GCTS by sending an email to support@gcts.com and identifying your gauge type (PG-
10000 or PG10).
For the model PG-10000 (old) gauges, the following procedure can be used to enable the
PEAK Hi feature (section 2.0 in the instructions):
Select PEAK Hi mode by pressing and holding the MODE key until the reading starts
flashing. Release the MODE key, then press MODE key once more, the display will
read HOLD. Press ENTR key once, the display will read NO H. Using keys to
select H Hi (Peak High Hold). Press ENTR key to lock your selection.
12

NOTE: When the hold function is enabled, PEAK is displayed.
For the model PG10 (new) gauges, the Peak-Hold feature is already enabled at the factory.
To enable or disable it please see page 11 in the instructions. If the user does not like the
Peak-Hold feature (because it only displays the peak/maximum at all times), the user can
disable the Peak-Hold feature and use instead the Maximum/Minimum feature. This
Maximum/Minimum feature does not need to be enabled, resetting it can be quite
cumbersome, and the instructions to do that are given on page 8 in the instructions.
4.0 RUNNING A TEST
4.1 Test Set-Up Procedure
For testing, the pump reservoir cap must be in the Vent position. The unit was shipped
with the pump reservoir cap in the Closed position for transport, but during usage the
pump reservoir cap must be in the Vent position!

The operation of the GCTS Point Load Tester set up is simple and straightforward. First
open the relief valve on the hand pump. If the meter displays an offset load use the TARE
OUT or Zero feature.
For the model PG-10000 (old) gauges, the following procedure can be used to TARE
OUT or Zero (section 1.0 in the instructions): Press and hold the MODE key until the
reading starts flashing. Release the MODE key. Press the ENTER key until the
reading becomes 0.00.

Place in the vent position
when testing.
Figure 2: hydraulic Pump reservoir cap set-up
13

For the model PG10 (new) gauges, the following procedure can be used to TARE OUT or
Zero (page 4 in the instructions, Enter Button Secondary Function): Press and hold the
Enter Button for approximately 3seconds. If it displays No Zero, the Tare Feature
has to be enabled (see page 26 of the instructions).
4.2 Performing a test
Adjust the location of the upper crosshead so that the piston will not be fully extended
during the test. It is best to have the loading piston operate within the lower region of its
stroke to prevent alignment damage to the piston. This can occur when the piston is
fully extended and loading against an uneven surface.
Close the pump relief valve.
Hold the specimen in between loading points, and begin pumping the handle until the
load display indicates some initial contact.
Read the displacement on the side ruler (or in the optional deformation meter display if
available) and calculate the distance "D" between the point loads.
Once "D" has been recorded, proceed pumping until the specimen fails (indicated by a
sudden loss of the applied load).
While the digital gage is in PEAK mode, the display will show the maximum load at all
times. You must remember to reset the PEAK value before each test.
To reset after capturing a Hi Peak:
For the model PG-10000 (old) gauges, the following procedure can be used to TARE
OUT or Zero (section 2.0 in the instructions): Press and hold MODE key until the
reading starts flashing. Release the MODE key, then press ENTR, hold momentarily
then release.
For the model PG10 (new) gauges, the following procedure can be used to reset the Peak
value (page 11 in the instructions): Press the (up arrow) key.
Refer to the display unit instruction for further information if necessary

5.0 SAFETY
Safety guideline while operating equipment:
: Always use protective clothing and equipment to eliminate risk of personal
injury. Do not operate this unit without goggles, gloves, and lab coat to
protect your eyes, hands, and any other exposed body part. Specimen
particles will explode outwards at failure.

: Do not exceed the maximum pressure range for the installed sensor as
indicated by the pressure gauge.

IMPORTANT: Do not forget to reset the peak load on the meter before the next test is
performed or the new failure load may not be recorded.
6.0 SOFTWARE
The GCTS PntLoad software for Windows has been designed to go along with the
GCTS Point Load testing System in order to provide a complete package to test numerous
specimens fast and with ease and to present the statistical results in a neat and organized
format. The software can be configured to provide an automated system whereas very
minimal interaction from the operator is needed as test can be started and stopped
automatically based upon a threshold load value.
Note: please refer to the PntLoad Software for the Point Load Strength Testing System
Manual for a complete Guide and Reference.

Trip Points: The PG10 can be confi gured with dual relay trip-point outputs.
The relays can either be solid-state or SPDT mechanical in form. Each trip point
(T1 and T2) can be confi gured to perform one of six different logic functions as
described below and on the chart on the next page.
NOTE: The or icon will appear in the upper left area of the
display whenever the associated trip point is active.
Trip Relay Output Types (T1TYPE or T2TYPE): determines the logic
function of the output relays (see chart on next page).
Type 0 or Normally Closed setting will close the trip relay whenever the
pressure is less than the Trip Pressure setting.
Type 1 or Exclusive setting will close the trip relay whenever the pressure is
less than the Trip Pressure or greater than the Trip Pressure + Trip Window.
Type 2 or Normally Closed with Hysteresis setting will close the trip relay
when the pressure drops below the Trip Pressure. Once closed, the trip relay
will remain closed until the pressure becomes greater than the Trip Pressure +
Trip Window, at which point the trip relay will open. Once open the trip relay
will remain open until the pressure once again drops below the Trip Pressure
setting.
Type 3 or Normally Open setting will close the relay whenever the pressure
is greater than the Trip Pressure setting.
Type 4 or Inclusive setting will close the relay whenever the pressure is
within the Trip Window pressure range (greater than the Trip Pressure, less than
49
