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. Click here to schedule a field assessment or to
