Allen Face invented the manual Dipstick in 1983 and the self-recording Dipstick in 1986. In 2003, incorporating all he had learned in the previous 2 decades, he re-engineered it into the D-Meter® - now the state-of-the-art in walking floor profilers. Advanced
across the floor by successive rotations about its front foot, D-Meter® can
measure up to 1500 linear feet (or 450 meters) per
hour.
D-Meter® does it all. After data collection, with just 2 clicks, everything you need downloads into an Excel® workbook on your PC or laptop.
Using AF&Co's rentable profileograph simulation software, D-Meter® can now readily measure Fmin defined wheel track tolerances on superflat floors. This new capability allows any test lab to measure Fmin with its own equipment and personnel - opening a highly profitable market previously reserved to specialty testing firms.
D-Meter® requires
no special skills or training to operate. After power up and zeroing the instrument,
the operator simply uses the <GO> and <STOP> keys to record the profile runs, each of which can range from 12 to 240 feet (3.6 to 72.0 meters)
in length.
D-Meter's® memory will retain up to 50 run records, even if the unit is turned
off or loses power. This feature eliminates
all concerns about data loss. |
