1 Scope
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.
