Point Load Test vs WipFrag 4

*NOTE: This is a new version of the PLT app. The old version will remain listed in the meantime but will be removed soon. The Point Load Test Application was designed to be used in conjunction with a GCTS PLT-2W. This application allows the user to easily perform tests and record data by connecting to a PLT device via Bluetooth. The device will output load and displacement from a pair of sensors, which will be read by the app and used to calculate point load test results. The app allows two-step calibrations of these readings, and also can obtain pre-loaded calibration factors from within the PLT-2W. Using this application, specimen measurements can be made with ease. By simply placing the specimen in the apparatus as shown in the application and applying a small load, the application will automatically calculate the dimension of the specimen in that axis. This app can be used with diametral, axial, or irregular specimens. In addition, the application can be set to reuse certain dimensions, so if a core sample is used, the application can be set to use the same diameter for each specimen tested. The operator can also define a custom equation for determination of the unconfined compressive strength from the point load strength index as calculated by the test. The application will automatically graph the load versus equivalent core diameter and automatically calculate the unconfined compressive strength for the rock specimen. This app also allows the measurement of Ultrasonic P-Wave Velocities when paired with a ULT-2 or ULT-200.

Analyze image samples on your iOS device with the particle sizing software that started it all! Make decisions based on fact instead of theory. WipFrag software puts particle sizing at your fingertips! Originally developed in 1986 at the University of Waterloo, WipFrag pioneered image-based particle size analysis software. Like other long standing, industry-standard software packages, the WipFrag of today bears little resemblance to its primitive ancestor. WipWare technology empowers you with the tools you need to collect historical data, establish a statistical baseline and track subtle changes throughout the optimization process so you can make decisions based on fact, instead of theory. The included BlastCast™ blast forecast module helps predict fragmentation when used in conjunction with WipFrag particle size data. As proven in the mining, forestry and aggregate industries, WipFrag particle analysis helps cut energy consumption, improves efficiency and minimizes equipment maintenance costs. Blast models, formulas, expected results; we all know that this approach to predicting blast results is useless without the tool to quantify what really matters: fragmentation.
