Today, we have received our brand new and calibrated Skid Resistance Tester, an established device to measure friction properties of various surface.
This is part of the Skyltfonden-financed project to establish friction data on wood-rubber interactions, with a focus on angle of interaction (vs wood fibre direction).
To test our skills and new device, we ran a series of measurement on a typical Swedish varnished oak flooring. Check the results below. Conditions were dry.
