About Skid Resistance Tester

A Skid Resistance Tester (also known as a British Pendulum Tester) is a precision instrument used to determine the frictional resistance (skid resistance) of road surfaces, paving materials, and flooring under wet or dry conditions. It is widely used in highway engineering, airport runway testing, and material quality control to ensure safety against skidding accidents.

Key Features:

Designed as per ASTM E303, EN 1097-8, BS 812 standards
Portable and field-friendly design for on-site testing
Equipped with pendulum arm and rubber slider system
Direct reading scale for skid resistance value (SRV / PTV)
Adjustable leveling base with three leveling screws
Supplied with rubber sliders, thermometer, and accessories kit
Robust construction for laboratory and field use

Working Principle:

The tester operates on a pendulum mechanism, where a rubber slider attached to the pendulum arm swings and contacts the test surface. The loss of energy due to friction is measured and displayed as skid resistance value.

The higher the value, the greater the surface friction and safety against skidding.

Applications:

Road and highway surface testing
Airport runway friction testing
Asphalt and concrete pavement evaluation
Floor, tile, and ceramic slip resistance testing
Polished Stone Value (PSV) determination
Research laboratories and civil engineering institutes

Technical Specifications (Typical):

Pendulum weight: 1.5 kg
Measuring range: 0150 Skid Resistance Value (SRV)
Test surface: Flat, curved, or gradient surfaces
Slider: Standard rubber slider (TRL type)
Instrument weight: 2530 kg
Operation: Manual, portable

Standard Accessories:

Rubber sliders (standard & PSV type)
Thermometer
Water bottle / spray
Tool kit and spanners
Carrying case
Calibration certificate

Advantages:

Provides reliable measurement of surface friction
Helps prevent road accidents due to skidding
Suitable for both laboratory and field testing
Easy to operate and maintain
Widely accepted international testing method

Reliable Measurement for Surface Safety

This Skid Resistance Tester is engineered to provide accurate and repeatable measurements of surface friction, essential for evaluating slip risk in public walkways, industrial floors, and road pavements. Utilizing the pendulum method, it ensures consistent results, helping users comply with safety standards and make informed decisions regarding surface treatments and maintenance.

Built for Portability and Durability

Crafted from stainless steel and powder-coated metal, the device excels in both strength and corrosion resistance. Weighing approximately 14 kg and featuring a compact, rectangular form, it is supplied in a protective wooden case, making transport and storage straightforward. Its manual operation means no electrical power is needed, increasing its suitability for varied locations.

FAQ's of Skid Resistance Tester:

Q: How does the Skid Resistance Tester operate?

A: The Skid Resistance Tester works using a pendulum method, where a rubber slider swings over the test surface. The resistance encountered is measured on an analog scale, representing the skid resistance value (SRV) of the floor or pavement.

Q: What is included with the Skid Resistance Tester upon purchase?

A: Each unit is supplied with a standard rubber slider, required fittings, and accessories, all securely packaged in a wooden carrying case for ease of transport and protection.

Q: When should I use a Skid Resistance Tester?

A: This tester should be used whenever you need to assess the slip resistance of surfaces, such as for safety inspections in public spaces, industrial facilities, or during the certification of new floors and pavements.

Q: Where can the Skid Resistance Tester be used?

A: Thanks to its portable design, the tester can be used in a wide range of settings-from outdoor pavements to indoor floors-without the need for electrical power, making it ideal for fieldwork and on-site testing.

Q: What is the process for conducting a test with this device?

A: Set the instrument on the area to be tested, prepare the slider, and follow the pendulum method by releasing the arm. The analog scale will display the measured skid resistance value (SRV), helping you determine the safety of the surface.

Q: What are the advantages of using this manual tester?

A: Key benefits include its portability, ease of use, corrosion resistance, high measurement accuracy (1% of reading), and compliance with international standards. Its robust, manual design ensures reliable results even in remote locations without power supply.
