About This Product
Slake durability testing is used in rock mechanics and civil engineering teaching to compare how different rock samples hold up to weathering and breakdown when they are immersed in water. Rock samples are placed in the drums, which are rotated in the water tanks for a set time, and the sample is then examined for the extent of disintegration. The apparatus is used in geotechnical and civil testing labs.
