FieldTester (3A Model) v4 FIFA Impact Tester for measuring force reduction, vertical deformation, energy restitution of natural grass and synthetic turf sports fields with Clegg Hammer Equivalents - PN-FieldTester-3A-V4
The FieldTester (3A Model) v4 FIFA Impact Tester with Clegg Hammer Equivalents is easy to carry and operate. The FieldTester has a built-in universal axial speed sensor and uses a spring and foot plate similar to the 3A Artificial Athlete testing device and produces comparable test results.
The FieldTester (3A Model) v4 FIFA Impact Tester with Clegg Hammer Equivalents comes with a wireless measurement application that is compatible with iOS and the unit comes with all the items necessary to perform testing including an Ipod for use with the device. The FieldTester application generates fast results that are stored in the application immediately after the measurement, and results are also displayed on the tablet screen.
By using the FieldTester (3A Model) v4 FIFA Impact Tester with Clegg Hammer Equivalents, professional test equipment is no longer the exclusive domain of laboratories and synthetic turf producers and installers. The Measuring device can be used by sports field natural grass and synthetic turf installation companies, maintenance companies, municipalities, clubs, teams, and coaches. This device allows you to monitor the quality of the maintenance of various sports and playing surfaces and measure the desired technical characteristics. This also ensures safety and playability of the surfaces as well as ensures surface uniformity.
In addition to displaying Force Reduction, Vertical Deformation, Energy Restitution and Maximum Force in Newtons, the unit also displays Clegg Hammer equivalent readings that can be read directly with the rest of the measuring results. The tool is user-friendly and easy to move from test area to test area with a overall weight of approximately 22 lbs (10 kilos).
The unit operates on an internal rechargeable battery pack.
FIFA and the IRB (International Rugby Board) are sports governing bodies that have directly examined natural sports turf characteristics to establish player-surface interaction parameters for synthetic turf fields. These parameters originally derive from UEFA testing (European Soccer Federation) of natural turf stadiums in the late 1990's in multiple countries and climatic conditions. More recent testing in 2013 by the University of Tennessee Center for Athletic Safety produced results that were similar to the UEFA research for force reduction and vertical deformation.
