Annual calibration helps ensure reliable measurements, reduce the risk of incorrect pavement assessments, and extend the life of your equipment. Dynatest provides factory and on-site calibration services for FWDs, HWDs, LWDs, profilometers, and friction testers.
It is important to calibrate Dynatest equipment to ensure that the equipment is providing accurate and reliable data.
We recommend annual calibrations at the minimum. In fact, Dynatest equipment can be advantageously calibrated before use.
Correct measurements are critical for evaluating the condition of the pavement, identifying potential defects or hazards, and developing appropriate maintenance and repair strategies.
If pavement testing equipment is not properly calibrated, data may be inaccurate, leading to incorrect assessments of pavement conditions.
Inaccurate measurements can also lead to unnecessary costs and delays in pavement construction and projects.
If we discover that there are any discrepancies within your equipment, we will make adjustments to correct any errors
Regular calibration helps ensure accurate measurements, dependable pavement evaluations, and reduced risk of costly errors.
Customers with our Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWD), Fast Falling Weight Defelctometers (FFWD) and Heavy Weight Deflectometers (HWD) typically calibrate geophones at regular intervals.
Factory reference calibrations of the FWD, FFWD, HWD, and LWD can be performed on the geophones, load cell, and temperature sensors, at our workshop facilities in Gainesville (Florida) or Ballerup, Denmark.
On-site calibration services can also be performed with our portable calibration equipment.
Annual calibration is the industry best practice for maintaining measurement accuracy and confidence in your pavement data.
An essential task in pavement testing equipment is done by profilometers, which includes a sensor that measures the pavement’s surface elevation at regular intervals. These sensors must be calibrated on a regular basis to ensure that they provide accurate measurements.
If the profiler’s readings do not match, adjustments can be made to the equipment to correct the measurement error.
In addition to calibrating the sensors, it is also important to verify the accuracy of the data collection process. This involves ensuring that the equipment is correctly configured, and the data collection software is functioning correctly.
Dynatest profile measuring equipment includes static calibration equipment so the user can perform calibration at regular intervals.
Our service team can assist with calibration planning, validation, and preventive maintenance.
Dynatest friction testers have built-in electronic calibration facilities for daily operation.
Calibration equipment is also available for our friction testing equipment. Owners may have their annual equipment calibration done either at their home location or at a Dynatest service location.
