    Turf Diagnostics performs field hardness testing on turf systems with our Sports Surface Impact Test System.  This system features a standard A type missile that allows us to perform testing according to ASTM method F355A and ASTM F1936.  These test standards are applicable for testing of both synthetic turf (artificial turf) and natural turf fields.  Among the critical information provided by these test procedures are the field's shock absorbing properties and head injury criterion.

    Due to the portability of the test equipment our fully trained and knowledgeable personnel are able to test a field and provide a data summary while on site at your location.  We have performed testing on all levels of sports fields throughout the U.S.  We provide accurate results, prompt service, and unsurpassed professional capabilities.  

 

     Field hardness testing has been used by Turf Diagnostics to evaluate sports fields and golf courses at the high school, college, and professional level.  Industry suppliers also use this testing service to evaluate their products.   Testing is most often performed after new construction of an athletic field.  This allows for independent verification that the contractors and manufacturers have built a field that meets specifications and standards.  Annual maintenance testing is also performed to ensure that fields continue to meet specifications and to ensure that the field continues to meet the manufacturers warranty provisions.

     Our field hardness testing reports include:

a. Gmax values

b. Impact Velocity

c. Severity Index

d. Head Injury Criterion

e. Turf and Infill Depths

    We make every effort to limit our testing and travel time, which helps us to keep the costs at very reasonable level.  Until now, most of the impact testing on artificial turf has been performed by companies related to the manufacturers.  Now you have an independent choice.  Whether you are in need of testing during construction or post construction, Turf Diagnostics can provide you with unbiased, cost-effective testing services.
