SLIPPERINESS DYNAMIC TORTUS 3
The new Tortus 3 Coefficient of Friction Tester is the most advanced version of the original BCRA designed instrument, using the latest
technology available on the market today and is a replacement for the Tortus II.
The battery operated instrument can be used to test the resistance to skidding of a wide variety of flooring surfaces
including ceramic tiles in both dry and wet conditions.
The results can be displayed and downloaded to a PC via a USB connection.
he benefit of this is that the unit does no require and connecting cable either to a mains supply making it completely portable.
Technical specifications
Tortus 3: a self propelled microprocessor controlled precision instrument which measures directly the dynamic coefficient of friction, as it traverses a surface or flooring material used by pedestrians.
It provides an instantaneous reading of Coefficient of Friction on a digital display as it moves across the surface and
displays the average value of u; at the completion of the test.
The measurements are recorded to memory and can be retrieved using the supplied USB Memory Stick.
