48-B0192 Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester

48-B0192 Skid resistance and friction tester

STANDARD: EN 13036-4(ALSO CONFORMING TO EN 1097-8, ASTM E103)

Used for the measurement of surface friction properties, suitable for both site and laboratory applications and for
Polished Stone Value tests using curved specimens from
accelerated polishing tests.

Introduction

    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.
    It is based on the Izod principle: a pendulum rotates about a spindle attached to a vertical pillar. At the end of the tubular arm a head of known mass is fi tted with a rubber slider.
    The pendulum is released from a horizontal position so that it strikes the sample surface with a constant velocity. The distance travelled by the head after striking the sample is determined by the friction of the sample surface.
    A reading of Skid Resistance is obtained.

Features
