Asphalt
Description:
This outstanding contribution to road safety is the result of over 10 years" intensive development by the Road Research Laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research - a British Government organisation concerned with studying problems that arise in designing, building, maintaining and using public highways.
The Portable Skid Resistance Tester works according to the lzod principle. In operation, a pendulum of a known mass rotates about a vertical spindle. The head of the pendulum is fitted with a rubber slider which has a specific hardness and resilience. When released from a horizontal position, the pendulum head strikes the test surface with a constant velocity. The distance travelled by the pendulum after striking the surface is determined by the amount of friction. The Pendulum Test Value (PTV) can be read directly from the clearly engraved scale.
Features:
• Based on an original design by Munro Instruments - unmatched in strength, accuracy and reliability.
• Elegant, slimline and intuitive.
• Excellent stability.
• Compliant with British and international standards.
• Also suitable for conventional use on roads, pavements and other surfaces.
• Retrofit your existing Pendulum Tester.
