About Benkleman Beam

Benkleman Beam

The light weight instrument is supplied in two parts for assembling on site with easy hand tools. In use end of the beam rests at a point under investigation while the beam the beam is pivoted at the center. The free end carries a dial gauge to record the deflections. The other end kept on a stable platform. The beam ratio is 2:1 which magnifies even small deflections. Supplied with a dial gauge 0.01 x 25 mm. This is a light weight dismantle able instrument and easy to carry.

Sturdy and Portable Measurement Solution

Designed for rugged field applications, the Benkleman Beam offers sturdy construction with powder-coated mild steel and an optional protective carrying case. Its modular design makes it easy to assemble, dismantle, and transport, ensuring accuracy and convenience for pavement engineers.

Precise Pavement Deflection Monitoring

With a high-accuracy dial gauge (0.01 mm resolution) and deflection measurement up to 50 mm, the Benkleman Beam provides dependable readings for pavement evaluation. Calibration is straightforward, maintaining consistent measurement standards as required by ASTM and IRC specifications.

FAQs of Benkleman Beam:

Q: How is the Benkleman Beam set up for pavement deflection measurement?

A: The Benkleman Beam can be assembled and positioned in less than five minutes. Its components are manually connected, and the pivot stand is placed firmly with its heavy base for stability. No power is required for operation.

Q: What standards does the Benkleman Beam comply with?

A: This device adheres to ASTM D 4695 and IRC:81-1997 standards, making it suitable for international and local pavement evaluation procedures.

Q: When should the Benkleman Beam be calibrated?

A: Periodic calibration of the dial gauge is recommended as per standard procedures, particularly before field projects, to uphold measurement accuracy.

Q: Where is the Benkleman Beam most effectively used?

A: Engineered for rugged field conditions, the Benkleman Beam is ideal for measuring deflections in flexible pavements at construction sites, maintenance projects, or research locations.

Q: What is the process for maintaining the Benkleman Beam?

A: Maintenance is minimal, requiring only periodic cleaning of moving parts and the gauge. Proper storage in the optional carrying case can protect it from corrosion and damage.

Q: How does the Benkleman Beam benefit pavement engineers?

A: By offering quick, accurate, and standardized deflection measurements, the Benkleman Beam supports pavement performance assessments, which inform maintenance and repair strategies, ultimately extending pavement lifespan.
