This British Standard describes a method for determining the skid resistance of a surface using the GripTester continuous reading braked wheel fixed slip device.
The method is applicable to the following:
highways: surfacings;
highways: horizontal signs;
airport runways;
flight decks;
footways;
pedestrian precincts;
test panels of surfaces intended for any of the above.
The method is for measurement of skid resistance along a continuous surface on external paved surfaces or indoors. Test speeds can vary from 5 km/h to 130 km/h depending on the application. The measured values can be affected by the test speed.
