available through point load testing for numerical geotechnical analysis and empirical rock mass classification systems such as the Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR). INTRODUCTION The point load test (PLT) is an accepted rock mechanics testing procedure used for the calculation of a rock strength index. This index can be used to estimate other rock
ContactThis study involved extensive load frame and point load testing of coal measure rocks in six states. More than 10,000 test results from 908 distinct rock units were used to classify rock lithologies into categories and determine conversion factors.
ContactThis study involved the extensive load frame and point load testing of coal measure rocks in six states. More than 10,000 individual test results, from 908 distinct rock units, were used in the study. Rock lithologies were classified into general categories and conversion factors were determined for each category. This allows for intact rock

ContactPoint Load test is an alternate method that can be used to adequately predict the uniaxial compressive strength of a rock material using a portable and simpler equipment. Schmidt Hammer Rebound test is also a technique used for this purpose but, it is admitted that its results are far more variable and affected by testing methods.

HARDGROVE GRINDABILITY TEST The Hardgrove Grindability test is a measure of coal’s resistance to crushing and attempts to reproduce the effects of continuous coal pulverization in a mill. A 50-gram sample of prepared coal of uniform size range is placed inside a grinding unit. The unit undergoes a
Contact5.2 The point load strength test is used as an index test for strength classification of rock materials. The test results should not be used for design or analytical purposes. 5.3 This test method is performed to determine the point load strength index of rock specimens and, if required, the point load strength anisotropy index.
