Deflection Testing

Cherne Deflection Testing products are specialized measurement tools used by water and wastewater utilities to assess the structural integrity of flexible pipe materials such as PVC, HDPE, and corrugated pipes by measuring excessive deflection or deformation that could compromise flow capacity or long-term performance. These precision testing devices help utilities identify areas where pipe deflection exceeds acceptable limits due to soil loading, improper installation, or ground settlement, enabling proactive maintenance and rehabilitation before costly failures occur in critical water distribution or sewer collection systems.
