Slip & Skid Resistance

The Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester (also known as the British Pendulum Tester) offers several advantages when used for measuring surface friction or skid resistance, particularly in road safety and flooring industries. Here are some key advantages:

1. Accurate Measurement of Surface Friction: It provides reliable and accurate readings of surface friction, which is critical in evaluating the skid resistance of roadways, walkways, or floors, helping to prevent slip accidents.

2. Portable and Easy to Use: The tester is lightweight, portable, and easy to set up, making it convenient for use in various locations, including on-site testing in outdoor environments or indoor surfaces.

3. Standardized Equipment: The Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester is widely recognized and used globally, conforming to international testing standards such as ASTM E303 and BS 7976. This ensures consistent and comparable results across different industries and regions.

4. Versatility in Application: It can be used on various surfaces, including road pavements, airport runways, pedestrian walkways, and building floors. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for safety assessments in diverse settings.

5. Non-Destructive Testing: The device does not cause any damage to the surface being tested, making it ideal for evaluating surfaces without altering their condition.
