Portable Skid Resistance and Friction Tester

Skid resistance and friction tester
This method provides a measure of the skid resistance properties of a surface either in the field or in the laboratory. This method measures the skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0.01 m2) and this should be considered when deciding its applicability to a pavement surface which may have variable surface characteristics, e.g. block paving.
This apparatus is used for the skid resistance measurement of asphalt pavement and concrete pavement, in order to evaluate the skid resistance of pavement in moist condition.
Specifications:

STANDARD

• BS EN 1097-8, 13036-4:2003
• AS/NZS 4586
• BS 6077 Pt1, 7044, 7188, 8204, 7976, 812 Pt. 144
• ASTM E303

 

The Pendulum Skid Tester measures the frictional resistance between a rubber slider mounted on the end of a pendulum arm and the test surface. This provides highway engineers with a routine method of checking the resistance of wet and dry surfaces to slipping and skidding, both in the lab and on site.

Applications
• Road surface testing
• Testing of new road surface materials under development
• Testing of aggregates in the PSV (polished stone value) test
• Testing of floors and pedestrian walkways
• Flooring materials product development
• Accident investigations, both traffi c and pedestrian
• Litigation investigations

Features
• Designed for laboratory and in situ road surface testing
• Dispatched calibrated to ASTM E-303
• Low friction arm, and lightweight pointer
• Comes with integral 'F' scale for use with small slider set for 76mm slide length. (PSV test)
• Repeatable and reproducible
• Supplied with robust carrying case
