Standard Test Method for Measuring Surface Frictional Properties Using the British Pendulum Tester

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This test method provides a measure of a frictional property, microtexture of surfaces, either in the field or in the laboratory.

4.2 This test method may be used to determine the relative effects of various polishing processes on materials or material combinations.

4.3 The values measured in accordance with this method do not necessarily agree or directly correlate with those obtained utilizing other methods of determining friction properties or skid resistance.

Note 1: BPN and polish values from similar types of surfaces will not be numerically equal, primarily because of the differences in slide length and surface shape. Theoretical correction of the polish values to obtain numerical equality, either by mathematical manipulation or by use of special measuring scales, is not recommended.
