AS 4133.4.1-1993 sets out the method for determining the strength of rock specimens in the field using portable equipment.

This Standard sets out the method for determining the strength of rock specimens in the field using portable equipment. Specimens in the form of either rock core (the 'diametral' and 'axial' tests) or irregular lumps (the 'irregular lump' test) are broken by application of a concentrated load using a pair of conical platens. A point load strength index, Is(50), is obtained and may be used to classify rocks by strength.
