How can I obtain a PTV for a product?
The UKSRG members can provide expert independent test reports, showing the Pendulum Test Value (PTV) for floor surfaces, either in situ or in house, as…
MoreI have a PTV/SRV value from a product specific British Standard test, is this the same as a BS 7976 PTV?
Probably, but not necessarily. Whilst the Pendulum will act in the same way on all floor surfaces tested, different methods can involve different rubber sliders…
MoreDoes an R9/R10/R11/R12/R13 value equate to a PTV?
No. The difference in methods means that it is impossible to correlate DIN 51130 R values and BS 7976 PTV’s beyond, “A higher R value…
MoreWhich slip test method is most appropriate?
Ultimately there are very few scenarios where the BS 7976 Pendulum operated to the latest UKSRG Guidelines will not provide the most appropriate measure of…
MoreWhat is surface roughness Rz testing?
The roughness of a surface has a significant impact on its contaminated slip resistance. It is a similar mechanic to that which affects slick versus…
MoreWhat is DIN51130 DIN51097 ramp testing?
Ramp testing is a slip test method employed primarily at the product specification stage as it requires a sample of the test floor and cannot…
MoreWhat is BS 7976 Pendulum floor slip testing?
BS 7976 describes the specification, testing and calibration of the Pendulum floor slip test device. BS 7976-2 is widely recognised as the most accurate floor…
MoreWhat do PTV, SRV, R value, Rz, CoDF, A B C classification, mean?
PTV – Pendulum Test Value The number produced by Pendulum testing, primarily but not limited to BS 7976-2. Values above 35 are classified as a…
MoreWhat values must my floor achieve to ‘pass’ the slip test?
It is important to note that Pendulum testing should not be considered to provide a pass/fail value. The legal requirement is that the surface is…
