British Pendulum Skid Resistance tester

The Pendulum Skid Tester 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.
