Ashok,

Hilti does not have specific test data to support rock anchorages. The mechanical properties of rock, and associated strength of an epoxy bonded anchor are greatly dependent upon the characteristics of the rock including but not limited to compressive strength, slake durability, jointing, degree of weathering, as well as the drilling method. For this reason, site specific testing is recommended to evaluate the quality of rock anchorages. If desired, Hilti can provide best practice suggestions and training for drilling, use of accessories for cleaning of the borehole, and use of piston pugs for injection of the adhesive.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
