How Does the Light Falling Weight Deflectometer Work?

The light weight deflectometer has improved the way we conduct dynamic load plate testing, as it delivers a swifter and simpler way to determine the compaction quality and bearing capacity of soil. The wireless version that comes with Bluetooth technology is currently the most innovative measuring instrument that can be configured according to your requirements. Rest assured, it is designed to be suitable to any construction site, and guaranteed to bring efficient performance. Light falling weight deflectometers are also practical for dynamic load plate testing according to the ASTM E2835-11 standard.

You can operate the light falling weight deflectometer with ease using Bluetooth and an app for Android or iPhone. The device revolutionizes soil bearing capacity testing with its wireless operation. Measurements are delivered to the tablet, smartphone, or measuring computer via Bluetooth, and this can be beneficial to construction sites as the measuring device does not have to be set up directly beside the mechanics. This means no wires can get in the way of the dynamic load plate testing procedure.

The light weight deflectometer does away with the load plate socket, the device’s ‘Achilles’ heel,’ which is easily susceptible to damage and costly repairs and replacements. Without any cables, you can perform dynamic load plate tests anywhere, and control the device wirelessly through the app. This lets you view and analyze the results on the spot for quick and informed decision-making. You can also transfer the results later to a PC by saving it in a USB drive. Alternatively, you can have the results printed using the built-in printer of the light falling weight deflectometer.

Tests utilizing the continuous measuring mode is controlled by the load plate’s LED without relying on your smartphone. So, you can keep your smartphone away from situations that could make it more susceptible to damage or breaking. Measurements can be transmitted as a PDF file to your email in real time or sent to your office. You can also take pictures using your smartphone and insert them to the test point into the light weight deflectometer protocol.
