GMAX Testing, CT, DC, VA, MD, PA

Gmax test at University of Oregon

G-Max testing is the standard method developed for testing and determining the shock attenuation of synthetic turf athletic fields. Impact testing of synthetic turf is important as G-Max values can directly correlate to the safety of the playing surface. Higher G-max values indicate harder playing surfaces, leading to a higher probability of concussions and other injuries from impacting the surface. The ASTM has established a G-Max value of 200 as the maximum allowable limit, however ideal conditions should never exceed 165 at any location on the field.

At LDD Sports, we use state-of-the-art G-Max testing equipment, to provide unmatched consistency and accuracy. All certified testing agents are trained to perform G-Max tests per ASTM standards. We, as an independent agency, analyze and document the data obtained. A report will be generated for each field indicating results, test methods, and will include all field data
