Pendulum friction coefficient tester For Road Paintings from China

LT - BM: pendulum friction coefficient tester is a dynamic pendulum impact type instrument. It is developed according to the basic principle that "the potential energy loss of the pendulum is equal to the work done by overcoming the friction of the road surface when the rubber sheet at the end of the swing arm slides on the road surface".

LT-BM
  1. Base: Composed of T-shaped legs, leveling screws, and a spirit level, used for leveling and supporting the instrument.
  2. Column: Consists of the column, lifting mechanism, guide rod, and instrument handle, for lifting and fixing the position of the pendulum head.
  3. Release Switch: Installed on the cantilever, used to maintain the horizontal position of the pendulum rod and release the pendulum to drop.
  4. Steering System: Includes a fastening handle, pendulum shaft, knuckle, and bearings, connecting the pendulum, fixing the position, and ensuring free swing within the swing plane.
  5. Reading System: The pendulum value is directly read out via an LCD screen.
  6. Pendulum Head: Comprises upper and lower joints, pendulum rod, spring, lever, lifting handle, hammer shell, sliding block, and rubber sheet (76MM×25.4MM×6.35MM). It applies a specified torque to the swing center and a specified pressure to the road surface. The front-rear and left-right torques of the pendulum head are balanced, serving as the scale for measuring the road surface friction coefficient.

Why is Pendulum friction coefficient tester Necessary?

Pendulum friction coefficient tester FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about pendulum friction coefficient tester:

The tester features a standardized pendulum mechanism and precise calibration procedures. Its readings maintain high consistency within ±2 BPN (British Pendulum Number), ensuring reliable data for surface friction evaluations.

Yes, it is very versatile and suitable for all kinds of pavement, including asphalt, concrete, and even textured or polished materials. Just make sure that the surface of the road markings is clean and dry to make accurate measurements.

A single test usually takes less than 5 minutes. This includes setting up the tester, conducting the pendulum swing, and recording the reading, making it an efficient option for quick on-site assessments.

Calibration is relatively straightforward. Regular checks with a standard calibration block are sufficient, typically done quarterly or after significant impacts. The process is detailed in the user manual, enabling operators to handle it easily.

Its portability and manual operation make it ideal for remote or hard-to-reach sites—no power supply is needed, and the compact design allows easy transportation. This makes it a go-to choice for rapid onsite friction assessments in various field environments.
