Skid Resistance Tester

Product Description

Skid Resistance Tester

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

• Designed for laboratory and in situ road surface testing
• Dispatched calibrated to ASTM E-303
• Low friction arm, and lightweight pointe
• 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
