Wessex Lab: Specialists in Slip Resistance Testing
At Wessex Lab, we are an ENAC-ILAC accredited laboratory specializing in slip resistance testing. Our expertise in British Pendulum and Skid Tester equipment ensures high-precision measurements for evaluating flooring, road surfaces, sports facilities, and industrial applications.
What is the British Pendulum Tester?
The British Pendulum Tester is an internationally recognized device used to measure slip resistance by analyzing the energy loss when a rubber slider contacts a test surface. This method is essential for assessing floor safety, pedestrian walkways, and road traction. Our models comply with industry standards such as BS 7976, ASTM E303, EN 13036-4, and AS 4663.
Innovation comes hand in hand with the use of the best materials, a good result of this is the material used for the WAMMA LAB International series Pendulum bases made of high quality stainless steel.
The assembly and production of this equipment is carried out in Spain by technicians from the ENAC / ILAC accredited Laboratory in verification tests of Pendulum equipment.
The best combination for the Pendulum is the Sample Holder. The new WammaLab International Sample Holder is designed in high quality aluminum, anodized and shot blasted, it ensures its resistance with a contained weight. These characteristics make it the best accessory for testing and conditioning both in the laboratory and in field trials.
- Fix the verification and conditioning samples quickly and easily.
- Transportable with the equipment for field tests.
- High quality heavy duty stainless steel.
- Anodized and shot peened
British pendulum
The friction pendulum measures the energy loss when sliding a standardized rubber shoe, attached to the end of the pendulum arm, pressed by a spring, on the test surface, which provides the value of the sliding resistance. When the arm oscillates, the frictional force between the shoe and the test surface is obtained by measuring the reduction in circular motion of the pendulum arm.
Depending on the test method, application or country, rubber shoes of different hardness are used.
This equipment is suitable for carrying out laboratory tests, as well as for measuring soils in service.
