Benkelman Beam utilizes the technique of using balanced beam in conjunction with a suitable vehicle to measure road flexure The improved Benkelman Beam is a convenient, accurate device for measuring the deflection of flexible pavements under moving wheel loads. Operating on a simple lever arm principle, the unit consists. Supplied with carrying case.

Reliable Pavement Testing

Designed for accurate deflection assessment, the BENKELMAN Beam aids engineers and surveyors in determining pavement strength and flexibility during road evaluations. Its lever ratio of 2:1, high accuracy, and standard load capacity support compliance with stringent quality requirements.

Portable and Easy to Operate

Weighing approximately 14 kg and delivered with a carrying case, this beam is straightforward to assemble and transport. Its manual operation ensures independence from power sources, making it ideal for use at diverse field sites, even in remote locations.

Built for Durability and Precision

With corrosion-resistant materials such as aluminium alloy and sturdy mild steel, combined with a high-resolution dial gauge, the BENKELMAN Beam reliably delivers precise pavement deflection readings across a wide temperature range. Its design promotes longevity and consistent performance in varied conditions.

FAQs of BENKELMAN Beam:

Q: How is the BENKELMAN Beam used to measure pavement deflection?

A: The BENKELMAN Beam is placed on the pavement surface, and a standard axle load is applied. The dial gauge detects and records deflection as the pavement reacts to the load, allowing for quantitative assessment of its flexibility.

Q: What materials are used in constructing the BENKELMAN Beam?

A: The main beam is crafted from aluminium alloy for enhanced durability and lightness, while the support stand and base plate utilize sturdy mild steel to ensure stability and corrosion resistance during field use.

Q: When should the BENKELMAN Beam be deployed during pavement analysis?

A: It is typically employed during routine pavement evaluation, maintenance planning, and quality control procedures, particularly when assessing road sections for potential rehabilitation or upgrades under IRC 81-1997 guidelines.

Q: Where is it suitable to use the BENKELMAN Beam?

A: It is ideal for field applications on roads, highways, and other pavements requiring flexible deflection measurements. Its portability and manual operation make it practical for both urban and remote environments.

Q: What is the process for reading measurements on the BENKELMAN Beam?

A: After setting up the beam and applying a standard load, the dial indicator detects the pavements vertical movement. The operator manually reads the dial gauge, which offers high-resolution data with 0.01 mm accuracy.

Q: What are the benefits of using this device for pavement testing?

A: The BENKELMAN Beam offers precise, reliable deflection readings, is easily transportable, has no power requirements, and is built to withstand harsh field conditions. This aids in making informed decisions on pavement maintenance and rehabilitation.

Q: Does the BENKELMAN Beam require any power source for operation?

A: No, the device operates manually, relying solely on mechanical action without any electrical power needs, ensuring uninterrupted use in all field conditions.
