BS 7941-2:2000 Methods for measuring the skid resistance of pavement surfaces - Test method for measurement of surface skid resistance using the GripTester braked wheel fixed slip device
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.
