What wet pendulum testing tells you

By Daniels Slip Testing

Reading a wet pendulum result, and what the choice of rubber slider changes.

Every technical statement in our articles comes from testing we have carried out on site, measured under AS 4663:2013 and AS/NZS 4586:2013, and reviewed before publication.

A result only means something alongside the method, the slider and the conditions on the day.

If you need this applied to a specific floor, commission a test. General information is not a substitute for measurement on your site.
