Measurement of the coefficient of friction of floors
نویسنده
چکیده
An improved method of measuring the coefficient of sliding friction of floor products is described, whereby similar measurements are made on laboratory samples and floors. An average value over the surface and a trace showing the local variations in friction across the surface are obtained. The latter facilitates studies of the efficiency of geometric projections and other surface effects that are intended to provide resistance to slipping. Measurements on floors show that both organic and inorganic deposits contribute to a reduction of the coefficient of friction.
