High-Precision Deflection MeasurementThis Benkleman Beam Apparatus is specifically engineered for high-accuracy deflection measurement of flexible pavements in road construction and maintenance. With a sensitive dial gauge capable of reading up to 0.01 mm and a lever ratio of 2:1, it delivers consistent and precise data for pavement engineers and researchers.
Robust and Portable DesignConstructed with a durable combination of stainless steel and mild steel, the apparatus is finished with a powder coating for enhanced resistance to corrosion. Its built-in transport wheels make mobility effortless, while the compact design ensures efficient use both in the field and laboratory settings.
User-Friendly Manual OperationThe apparatus operates manually, eliminating the need for an external power source. Its ergonomic handle, high-accuracy ball bearing pivot, and clear dial gauge readout make it straightforward for operators to set up and execute deflection measurements with minimal training.
FAQs of Benkleman Beam Apparatus:
Q: How is the Benkleman Beam Apparatus used for pavement deflection measurement?
A: The Benkleman Beam Apparatus is placed on the pavement surface, and the probe is positioned at the test point. As a loaded vehicle passes over, the dial gauge, equipped with a 2:1 lever ratio, precisely measures pavement deflection in real time. Data from the dial gauge helps assess pavement strength and serviceability.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this Benkleman Beam model?
A: Key benefits include high measurement accuracy (0.01 mm), robust construction with a corrosion-resistant finish, portability due to fitted transport wheels, and easy manual operation. These features make it ideal for on-site testing and repeated use by engineers and researchers.
Q: When should pavement deflection testing be conducted with this apparatus?
A: Deflection testing is typically carried out during pavement evaluation studies, quality control during or after construction, and routine assessments for maintenance planning. It helps determine whether a pavement structure needs strengthening or repair.
Q: Where can the Benkleman Beam Apparatus be used effectively?
A: It is suited for field use on various types of flexible pavements, especially bitumen surfaces. Its portability allows operation both at construction sites and in research laboratories throughout India and internationally.
Q: What is the process for obtaining accurate measurements with this apparatus?
A: After securely setting the apparatus on the pavement and calibrating the dial gauge, the operator monitors deflections as a standard vehicle moves over the test area. The high-accuracy bearings ensure reliable readings, and data can be immediately interpreted for analysis.
Q: Is any special training required for operating the Benkleman Beam Apparatus?
A: The equipment is designed for straightforward manual operation, making it accessible for technicians with basic training in pavement testing procedures. Detailed instructions are provided to ensure proper setup and measurement collection.
