The updated TM2 surface texture meter with the latest electronics is the result of an extensive in-house research and development programme by WDM® to provide all the functionality of a routine texture measurement instrument, coupled with extensive analysis tools.
The TM2 is recognized as delivering the definitive macro texture measurement standard. The updated TM2 measures a broad swathe of the road profile transversely over a width of 100mm at very frequent intervals to build a detailed record of the surface, with its average texture depth, and delivers repeatable and consistent results.
It is widely recognised that pavement texture is an extremely important factor in the control of surface friction and subsequent road safety. It is also an important parameter for the determination of factors such as noise emission from vehicle tyres.
