Dry Friction Test

Dry testing is conducted on dry floor surface conditions, in which the test Tortus machine moves across the surface at a rate of about 1 meter per minute. The total distance travelled is 800 mm, being in line with the Australian Standard for dry slip resistance testing. Each 800 mm of travel is then further broken up into individual measurements of 100 mm, to assess whether any sections of the floor were found to be non-compliant. *Please Note: One test per floor surface type is required
