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 tester is supplied WITHOUT rubber sliders that have to be ordered separately (see accessories).

Case dimensions: 730x730x330 mm
Weight: 32 kg approx.

NOTE: The tester is supplied calibrated to meet EN, BS and ASTM E303 Specifications. On request the tester is supplied calibrated to meet BS 7976 Spec.

The skid tester can be also used for tests on concrete block pavers, natural stones, and skidding tests on wooden floor.

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, EN 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.
