SLIPPERINESS DYNAMIC BOT3000E
The BOT-3000E is thethird generation design of the most recognized, advanced, and portable digital tribometer in the world today..
The device continues to employ the original self-propelled drag-sled principle defined in Germany.
It has been carefully designed to avoid the use of springs, actuators, dials, heavy weights, or other components that can lead to premature wear or mechanical fatigue.
The unit can accurately measure static coefficient of friction (SCOF) and dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF), wet or
dry.
The device is designed primarily for use on common hard-surfaced, interior space flooring, however it has
also been used to determinethe slip- resistance of other materials such as paints, waxes, and other coatings on flat metal,
plastic, wood, laminate, concrete and stone surfaces.
The BOT-3000E conforms to American National Standard B101.1, “Test Method
for Measuring Wet SCOF of Common Hard-Surfaced Floor Materials”.
It also conforms to ANSI B101.3 and A137.1, which measure dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF).
It has been validated according to ASTM F2508-13 Standard Practice for Validation, Calibration, and Certification of Walkway Tribometers Using Reference Surfaces.”
