Airports typically use detailed pavement testing and engineering evaluation to establish ACR/PCR values.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/pavement-evaluation-solutions-for-airports/ ### [What equipment is used for airport pavement testing?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-88ad54cc3dfee20276e8) “Common systems include: • Heavy Weight Deflectometers (HWD) • Surface profiling systems • Friction testing equipment • Pavement condition assessment technologies.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/pavement-evaluation-solutions-for-airports/ ### [Why is airport pavement testing important?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-397af389ef34f16aa317) “Accurate pavement data helps airports maintain safety, support operational decisions, optimize maintenance planning and meet regulatory requirements.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/pavement-evaluation-solutions-for-airports/ ### [What is a Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD)?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-a72fecbc62f29c00cd0a) “A Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) is a non-destructive pavement testing system used to evaluate the structural condition of roads, airfields, and other heavily loaded pavements. The system applies a controlled impulse load to the pavement surface and measures the resulting deflection basin.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/ ### [How does HWD differ from an FWD?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-2c7bb43f3e5da5717a2b) “Both HWD and FWD systems evaluate pavement structural condition by measuring pavement deflections under a dynamic load. The primary difference is the load capacity.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/ ### [When should an airport use an HWD?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-8992bfe9256dd486d43d) “An airport should consider using an HWD when evaluating the structural condition of runways, taxiways, aprons, or other pavements subjected to significant aircraft loads. HWD data can support pavement rehabilitation planning, remaining-life assessments, overlay design, and Pavement Classification Rating (PCR) calculations when combined with ELMOD pavement analysis software.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/ ### [What load range does the HWD support?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-374e308d6d602158d4f9) “The Dynatest HWD supports a dynamic load range from 30 kN to 320 kN (6,600–71,800 lbf). Multiple loading configurations can be used to generate load levels suitable for different pavement structures and engineering objectives.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/ ### [Can HWD be used on roads and airports?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/dynatest-q141130816#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4526c251a4ab5ea6-a-9023fbc58bbdc94b2a9a) “Yes. The Dynatest HWD is designed for structural pavement evaluation on both roads and airports, including highway investigations, rehabilitation projects, airport pavement assessments, overlay design studies, and pavement management programs.” Sources: https://dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/ ## Company sources - [Dynatest website](https://dynatest.com/) — dynatest.com - [dynatest.com/customer-faq/](https://dynatest.com/customer-faq/) — dynatest.com · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-8a9a1f5fd62acfbc) - [dynatest.com/pavement-evaluation-solutions-for-airports/](https://dynatest.com/pavement-evaluation-solutions-for-airports/) — dynatest.com · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-857278deb31695fe) - [dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/](https://dynatest.com/equipment/heavy-weight-deflectometer/) — dynatest.com · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-320314d7a9be8c4a) - [wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q141130816.json](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q141130816.json?revision=2536580351) — wikidata.org · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-ee8f24dcc2ecf18f) ## Continue reading - Discover the bounded graph: https://readyscan.ai/api/v1/ai-search/discovery - Retrieve this entity evidence: https://readyscan.ai/api/v1/ai-search/entities/dynatest-q141130816/evidence ## Publication boundary - This public-sourced record brings together company information and its sources.
