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.
