Advantages

A falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is a testing device used by civil engineers to evaluate the physical properties of pavement in highways, local roads, airport pavements, harbor areas, railway tracks, and elsewhere. It is an ideal equipment for comprehensive testing and one of the most advanced non-destructive structure testing equipment of road surface strength in the world. Our automatic falling weight deflectometer can ensure road safety and people’s lives.  We supply portable, light, and heavy falling weight deflectometer.

Product Structure

FWD(Falling Weight Deflectometer) consists of a Trailer (including loading system and displacement sensor) and microcomputer control system (including control and data acquisition and processing). Its working principle is: under the control of the computer, the heavy hammer of a certain quality is lifted to a certain height by the hydraulic transmission device and falls freely. The impact force acts on the bearing plate and is transmitted to the road surface, so as to apply pulse load to the road surface, resulting in instantaneous deformation of the road surface. Sensors distributed at different distances from the measuring points detect the deformation of the surface of the structural layer, and the recording system transmits the signal to the computer, That is to measure the dynamic deflection and deflection basin under the action of dynamic load. The test data can be used to calculate the modulus of the pavement structure layer, so as to scientifically evaluate the bearing capacity of the pavement.
