Benkelman Beam

Benkelman Beam

Nunes Instruments is known as the most competitive and trustworthy manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in the lab testing equipment market. Benkelman beam is used to find many characteristics of the flexible pavement in response to the traffic load. For evaluation of rigid pavement load transfer and a fiexible pavement structure, pavement surface deflection is the primary mean of measurement. Deflection method or measurements help to know the stiffness of the pavement structural layer and its sub-grade resilient modulus. Our Benkelman equipment is considered to be the less expensive and the most effective equipment to carry out deflection measuring that provides accurate results. It is one of the easy, simple, and non-destructive methods. Benkelman beam is serving the needs or acting as a great resource of material for government agencies, contractors, consultant etc. in the transportation and other infrastructure industry.

Benkelman Beam is a simple lever-arm device that measures the deflection of flexible pavements under the action of moving wheel loads. The probe beam is placed between the tires of a test vehicle and deflection is measured as the vehicle passes over the test area.
