Skid Resistance and Friction Tester

The Skid Resistance and Friction Testers are used for the measurement of surface friction properties. The apparatus is suitable for both site and laboratory applications and for Polished Stone Value tests using curved specimens from accelerated polishing tests with the Accelerated Polishing Machine. Skid Resistance and Friction Test Set (Skid Tester); EN 1097-8 can also be used for testing Paving Stones (EN 1341, EN 1342) and Paving Blocks (EN 1338). 

EN 1097-8, 1338, 1341, 1342, 13036-4; ASTM E303

The apparatus consist of an adjustable pendulum arm, and a spring loaded rubber slider (see accessories) mounted on the end of the arm.

Rubber sliders should be ordered separately.
