Equipment for Preparing Specimens
Contents [show]
This photo shows a diamond saw. It is used for preparing (or coring) rock or concrete specimens. Such preparation is necessary for example for the performance of an unconfined compression test.
(In the bottom left of the picture you can see a Marshall test sample).
The photo is taken from the Central Laboratory and Training Center of Attiki Odos JV, Athens, Greece.
