TM2: Portable Precision for High-Resolution Texture Measurement
The TM2 texture meter is WDM’s portable solution for accurate macrotexture measurement – used in both laboratory and field conditions. It replaces traditional sand patch testing with a faster, higher-resolution method that’s trusted by authorities, consultants, and surfacing specialists.
Designed to be highly mobile and easy to use, TM2 delivers repeatable texture data at walking speed, measuring every 2mm with a 100mm transverse profile. With flexible data outputs and up to 10 hours of battery life, it’s built for real-world performance – on new asphalt, treated surfaces, or reference test sites.
