Natural Turf
Assessment

Μέτρηση απορρόφησης κραδασμών και επιστροφής ενέργειας. Αποτυπώνεται η αντίδραση της επιφάνειας σε διέγερση όμοια με το ποδοσφαιρικό πόδι.

Determination of the vertical ball rebound to assess the bounce characteristics of a playing surface when a ball is released from a magnet at a specified height and dropped onto the surface.

Ball roll is determined by measuring the distance a ball covers when rolling on the surface after it is being released from a specific height and through a ramp of predefined specifications. This test assesses the extent of the ball's unimpeded movement across the pitch.

Determination of evenness by locating deviations of the surface under a 3 m straight edge.
The method is used to assess surface regularity and, most importantly, to map out all pitch areas of potential risk to players.

Determination of the surface resistance to rotation exerted by a studded test plate simulating a player’s foot.
This test method assesses the stability of a sports turf surface.

Measurement of surface hardness under the impact of the player's foot.

Surface moisture, determined as the volumetric water content in topsoil, with the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) method.

This test measures water penetration rate into the tested surface.
The method determines the ability of the turf to absorb water and carry it to the drainage system.

This test method determines the level of compression at specific depths.
Soil compaction affects the physical properties of the playing surface, as well as root development.

Determination of root system growth by measuring root depth in samples from specific site locations.
