Proving ring versus load cell value within 5% of each other Proving ring dial gauge versus LVDT reading within 5% of each other
Procedure
Remove dial gauge from proving ring Use external LVDTs or internally mounted LVDT for displacement measurements Apply haversine shaped load pulse (.1 seconds on, .9 seconds off)
Procedure (continued)
Apply dynamic load from 10 90% of proving ring capacity @ 10% intervals
Acceptance Criteria
Generated haversine close to ideal Deformation response close to haversine Deformation within 5% of standard R-square > 0.99 .002 second or less phase shift between load and deformation Ymax/Ymin < 1.10 (10%)

Other recommendations
Verify the operation of older machines for new applications When equipment is replaced When equipment is moved Whenever a suspected overload or malfunction occurs
18
Unmatched filters
Excessive time delay (phase angle) between channels
19
Automatic gain control, error range too big Lack of gain control adjustment during testing Improper raw data format command values were saved rather than the feedback values
20
Excessive deformation due to unrestrained triaxial cell Slippage of LVDT holders Lack of control of pressure transducer Malfunction of air pressure regulator
22
Benefits of Use
Provides guidelines for standardization of test process Provides a benchmark performance standard for equipment Minimizes equipment and operator variability Promotes greater confidence in resilient modulus testing and resulting pavement design
