PENDULUM SKID RESISTANCE TESTER

SKID RESISTANCE TESTING INSTRUMENT

The Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester is a precision instrument used worldwide to assess friction on roads, walkways, and test materials. Its portable, reliable design allows accurate measurement of wet and dry surface skid resistance in both laboratory and field conditions, giving engineers vital data for safety evaluation and material performance testing. Developed from early US designs and refined at the UK Transport Research Laboratory, the CRT-PENDULUM uses the Izod principle to measure frictional resistance. A pendulum arm with a calibrated rubber slider strikes the surface at constant velocity, and the distance travelled after impact determines the Skid Resistance Value. The tester includes a low-friction arm, lightweight pointer, and F-scale for PSV work. Calibrated to EN1097-8 and BS 7976, the tester is robust, reliable, and easy to transport. It supports PSV work, surfacing checks, walkway testing, and accident investigations, and is made in the UK.
