Skid Resistance Test Apparatus

Description

Skid Resistance Test Apparatus

• Standard : EN 13036-4, EN 1097-8, BS 7976, ASTM E303
• The apparatus is suitable for both site and laboratory applications to
• perform two types of tests.
• – For measuring pavement (road asphalt) surface frictional and skid
  resistance properties
• – For polished stone value tests on aggregates (curved specimens)
  from accelerated polishing tests.
• The skid tester is also suitable to perform tests
• on : – Natural stones conforming to EN 1341, 1342
• – Concrete block pavers conforming to EN 1338
• The tester measures the energy loss when a rubber slider edge is
• propelled over the surface under test.
• The slider lifting device is incorporated in the pendulum base assuring
  accurate adjustment operations.
• The height adjusting system is simple and reliable.
• The pointer made from light alloy, has extremely low frictions granting
  high precision result.
• The release mechanism of the pendulum arm has an original solution
  reducing the friction to minimum for better accuracy.
