IS 18433 : Part 1 : 2023 Measurement of Surface Frictional Properties - Methods of Test - Part 1 Pendulum Test
1 SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the procedure for measuring surface frictional properties using the pendulum skid resistance tester.
1.2 This test is deemed suitable for all surfaces except highly structural/profiled surfaces. For structured surfaces, the ramp test shall be referred.
1.3 This test method can be used to assess and classify floor surfaces based on their pendulum test number (PTN) values (which indirectly indicate their slip resistance). The finishing layer (for example, tiles, stone, paver block, etc) of a particular floor is to be tested.
