LWD
Light Weight Deflectometer
Light Weight Deflectometer
The Dynatest Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) is a portable version of the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). The LWD uses a load cell and geophones with the same accuracy as the Falling Weight Deflectometer. The LWD can be used to test thin asphaltic pavements, recycled materials bound with foamed bitumen and directly test the unbound subbase and subgrade. The output from the LWD can be used to calculate the strength of multiple pavement layers. The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) meets the ASTM 2583, the IAN73 (UK) standard, the Danish standard, and the Italian standard for determining the modulus and compaction of the material. With this high quality LWD it is easy to do measurement in even the most rural places.
The LWD App gives a clear overview of the collected measurements and makes it a simple process to quickly collect new drops. The LWD App provides export options, including export of dataset to the applied device, iCloud, or sharing through email.
