Light Weight Deflectometer Perfect for pipeline construction
The Light Weight Deflectometer is the best tool for compaction tests in hard-to-reach places, such as backfill in trenches. The most requested model for this application is the TERRATEST 9000 LWD Bluetooth, as it allows users to connect the load plate directly to their own smartphones, eliminating the need for a measuring computer during the test procedure.
Lightweight Deflectometer: How It Works
The Lightweight Deflectometer is the ideal equipment for laboratories and construction companies to check the E-Modulus of soil. It is used in earthworks, civil engineering, road construction, canal and pipeline construction, for laying power, fiber optic, and broadband cables, in gardening and landscaping, in sports ground construction, and railway track construction. For higher degrees of compaction, the Lightweight Deflectometer can be optionally equipped with 2 additional 5 kg weights, enabling double force impact. Even inexperienced users can test the quality of soil compaction with this handy measuring device in just two minutes.Light Falling Weight Deflectometer: Measurement Process
The measurement process works as follows: Place the Light Weight Deflectometer on the ground that needs testing and connect it to the smartphone APP. Then perform a serie of measurement impulses. The display on your smartphone shows the deflection in mm and the deflection curve after each impulse. After the measuring impulse, the display automatically shows the test result, the EVd value in meganewtons per square meter. In less than two minutes, your staff can carry out the control of compaction quality yourself on the construction site. Often the cost of the device pays for itself within a few months.Light Weight Deflectometer: Easy Testing with Advanced Features
Our Lightweight Deflectometer allows you to send test results to your PC, including date, time, and GPS data, directly from the construction site. The TERRATEST LWD web-based software helps you prepare highly professional compaction test reports, featuring individual protocols, statistical evaluations, and a Google® Maps overview of all measurements conducted on the construction site by your Light Weight Deflectometer.
