Some of this testing was performed at the FAA's Technical Center; other tests were conducted at independent laboratories. All tests indicate the demonstrable excellence of the product. Jet Blast Tolerance AvTurf has been subjected to a sustained blast velocity of 400 mph originating approximately 6 inches away from the AvTurf plot. No surface variations or damage to turf change in the surface was detected. Weight Tolerance Both a Boeing 757 and an 80,000+ lb. ARFF emergency service vehicle have traversed AvTurf plots with no sign of displacement damage. Fluid Retention and Absorption AvTurf has been tested for retention and absorption of chemicals like potassium acetate. Tests were performed to show that a chemical will be retained without pooling, allowing the chemical's fumes to melt the snow. Institutional Study, Testing and Evaluation results are available upon request.
