Skid Resistance Tester BM-III

Product Description

Overview
The BM-III Skid Resistance Tester is a precision instrument used to measure the slip and skid resistance of surfaces in accordance with internationally recognized standards. Utilizing the British Pendulum method, the device accurately evaluates surface friction for roadways, pedestrian areas, sports surfaces, and construction materials.

Widely used in road safety audits, pedestrian area assessments, product development, and forensic investigations, the BM-III provides reliable data to ensure surface safety under dry and wet conditions.

Applications

• Road surface friction testing (wet or dry conditions)

• PSV testing of aggregates and stone materials

• Evaluation of new pavement materials and surfacing systems

• Floor and walkway slip resistance for public and commercial safety

• Material development in construction and flooring industries

• Accident scene investigations (traffic and pedestrian incidents)

• Support for litigation and expert witness analysis
