Choosing the Right Slider
Selecting the correct rubber slider depends on the surface type and the purpose of the assessment.
Type 55 (TRL) is generally used where the objective is to assess vehicle-related skid resistance on trafficked pavement surfaces such as roads and runways.
Type 96 (4S) is generally used where the objective is to assess pedestrian slip resistance or where higher sensitivity to smoother or polished surfaces is required.
