How Does It Work?
The Pendulum measures the frictional resistance between a rubber slider mounted on the end of a pendulum arm and the test surface.
This provides highway and flooring engineers with a routine method of checking the resistance of wet and dry surfaces to slipping and skidding.
The Pendulum device is placed on the portion of the road/ floor surface to be tested. It is then levelled and the height of the centre of suspension of the pendulum is adjusted to a fixed value which is read on a special gauge.
The Pendulum arm has a spring-loaded rubber slider on the pendulum foot.
The Pendulum is then released from its horizontal position, to swing down freely until the rubber slider contacts the test surface.
As the slider travels across the surface for a fixed distance, the pendulum is slowed and a frictionally-constrained pointer affixed to the pendulum arm measures the highest point in the pendulum arc.
The position of the pointer is then read on a measuring arc graduated from 0 to 150.
Pointer readings indicate the resistance to skidding/slipping of the test surface.
All this will be explained in our Training and much more
Applications for the Pendulum
The Pendulum is established globally as an essential part of risk management policies in the following areas:
- Testing of floors and pedestrian walkways
- Flooring materials product development
- Accident investigations, both traffic and pedestrian
- Litigation investigations
- Road surface testing
- Testing of new road surface materials under development
- Testing of aggregates in the PSV (polished stone value) test
- Testing of pavers in the Flat Bed Polisher
It is used in the following ways:
- Assessing surface safety
- Evaluation of floor cleaning materials
- Checking the effectiveness of maintenance and cleaning procedures
- Accident investigations
- Evidence for litigation purposes
