Measurement of skid resistance of a surface

   This method provides a measure of the skid resistance properties of a surface either in the field or in the laboratory. This method measures the skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0.01 m2) and this should be considered when deciding its applicability to a  pavement surface which may have variable surface characteristics, e.g. block paving.

Standard :  ASTM   E303

Test - equipment 

• Skid resistance and friction tester

(Skid Tester)
