Slake Durability Apparatus

Product Code : TVT-ARTE-10316

The Slake Durability Apparatus from Tvet Equipments predicts how well a rock will resist weakening and disintegration under simulated climatic slaking, expressed as a Slake Durability Index.

How It Works

Rock fragments are placed in perforated drums (two or four drums can be rotated at once) which are partially immersed in water and rotated at 20 r.p.m. by a motorized drive unit; the percentage of material retained after cycles of wetting and drying gives the Slake Durability Index.
