- The Pendulum test measures dynamic coefficient of friction (CoF). The test is designed to replicate a pedestrian heel strike, the point at which most slips occur. -When a pedestrian heel strikes a wet floor a fluid film is created between them, this can cause a slip. - This test works in wet condi [...]
