International Regulations for Light Weight

Deflectometer
Light falling weight deflectometers are required to follow international
regulations and mandatory standards for measuring deflections and
evaluating soil compaction quality of different types of earthworks. More
than advanced their advanced features and capabilities, compliance with
international standards is one of the most important things you should
consider when shopping for a deflectometer.
Light weight deflectometers are gaining popularity as a base tool in
measuring and determining the overall compaction quality of pavements and
earthworks. They are increasingly being used as quality control and analysis
testers on the field, as they are capable of providing and determining an
area's elastic modulus quite rapidly. These measurements are very crucial in
creating mechanistic designs and in assessing soil compaction for various
applications.
Dynamic load plate testing is a quick and straightforward method of testing
and evaluating soil's compaction quality and bearing capacity. Today's light
falling weight deflectometers are developed not only to ensure performance
and efficiency on the field, but also to guarantee construction site suitability.
Various standards are put in place to make sure that devices and innovations
like these are able to provide the data quality and accuracy that they are
expected to provide. When looking for the perfect tool for testing deflection
and compaction, choose one that provides you with advanced features
without compromising standard compliance with various international
regulations.
