General The H-3220A Benkelman Beam Apparatus is a convenient and accurate device used for measuring the deflection of flexible pavements under moving wheel loads. Operating on a simple lever arm principal, the device consists of a reference beam body, two-part probe beam, and rear zero adjustment assembly. The dial indicator is not included and must be purchased separately.
Adjust the stop screw (#34), turning it in a clockwise direction, so the indicator does not bottom out when it’s in the up position. This point is reached when the indicator reading does not move while the operator is turning the stop screw. 4.
