Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester

from Cooper Research Technology Ltd.
Created: October 21, 2011

The Cooper Wessex pendulum skid resistance tester CRT-PENDULUM is the most widely used portable skid resistance tester in the world. The CRT-PENDULUM PST measures the frictional resistance between a rubber slider mounted on the end of a pendulum arm and the test surface. This provides highway engineers with a routine method of checking the resistance of wet and dry surfaces to slipping and skidding, both in the lab and on site.

Pendulum rotates about a spindle attached to a vertical pillar; at the end of the tubular arm a head of known mass is fitted with a rubber slider; pendulum is released from a horizontal position so that it strikes the sample surface with a constant velocity
Distance travelled by the head after striking the sample is determined by the friction of the sample surface; a reading of Skid Resistance is obtained
Precision engineered and perfected over 50 years
Low friction arm and lightweight pointer
Designed for laboratory and in situ road surface testing
Dispatched calibrated to EN1097-8 (accredited under ISO 9001:2000)
