3031 Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD)

3031 LIGHT WEIGHT DEFLECTOMETER (LWD)
Dynatest Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) Model 3031 is a portable dynamic plate loading device designed Dynatest LWD is designed to determine the surface modulus (often termed stiffness)a response of the
for compaction quality assurance (QA) and determination of the modulus of unbound or partially bound material underlying structure, in terms of a transient deflection, to the dynamic stress applied through a circular
including thin asphalt layers, unbound granular aggregate base, partially stabilized base layers, subgrade soil bearing plate. Dynatest LWD is also capable of determination of the layer modulus using the Dual Plate
and etc. The LWD is suitable for testing in difficult to access areas, e.g. trenches, narrow channels, etc. System (DPS) and additional geophones.
