The Dipstick® is used and specified in 66 countries by clients including the world's biggest company and retailer, the World Bank, the World Road Association... and it was selected for the construction of the world's tallest building. Dipstick® measures Face Floor Profile Numbers ("F-Numbers"... FF, FL and Fmin), Straightedge Specs, TR34, Joint Movement, Construction Forms, Toppings and Fills, IRI
, Slab Upheaval, etc., and instantly produces reports, graphs, line surveys and 3D surface studies. It produces a Better Profile than a Rod & Level. It's a World Bank Class 1 device... the profiler used more than any other around the world to calibrate other profilers, such as high speed profilometers. Testing labs, building owners, developers, contractors, universities, research institutions and government agencies on six continents choose the Dipstick® because it produces the most accurate and repeatable flatness/levelness data - period. Dipstick readings are accurate to 0.0125 mm - less than 0.0005" (that's 5/10,000ths of an inch!). No other instrument comes close. In fact, the Dipstick® is so accurate that it's routinely used to calibrate other measuring instruments! Only the Dipstick® instantly calculates F and instantly produces graphs on-site. It's Truly Economical... the Fastest Way to the Right Answer™
The Dipstick® operates at up to 1,200 readings per hour ... the fastest way to the right answer... the true measure of economical operation. You can measure, analyze and report combined F-Numbers for a 10,000 sq.ft. (1,000 square meter) slab in 30 minutes or less! It measures American Concrete Institute / ASTM FF & FL (Random Traffic) ... and Fmin (Defined Traffic) (with other instruments that say they measure Fmin, you have to send your data to the manufacturer for them to calculate Fmin... and they charge you extra for the service. Dipstick® calculates Fmin on-site... for free. Because we sell so many instruments, Dipsticks cost less, even though Dipsticks are the highest quality instrument on the market - even coming with their own HP color computer! This is really important: Dipstick® Never Needs Calibration. We've proven it for years... Dipstick holds its calibration. With other profilers, you have to pay $500 to $600 or more every year in calibration fees and shipping costs. That means you'll pay $10,000 or more in extra costs over the life of the those instruments. For customers outside North America, those extra costs for other instruments could easily double! And, with those profilers, while you're paying extra fees every year, you also lose the use of the instrument for weeks while it's being calibrated and shipped back and forth.
