To use the meter you will insert either the leather or rubber sensors into the bottom of the meter, depending on what type of shoe you would like to replicate. You will then leave the area you would like to test dry or you can apply some water. Then by holding the control line you will slowly pull the slip meter a few inches across your area until the digital screen displays the peak read out numbers.

This is an easy-to-use digital slip meter that tests the coefficient of friction level of flooring and helps you gauge just how slippery your floor really is. Restaurants, casinos, hotels, nursing homes, or any business with foot traffic should consider buying a slip meter. Test early, test often! Abiding by the coefficient of friction standards set forth by OSHA and the ADA is important. Doing a weekly check up on your floors to ensure they meet specifications will help keep people safe. Regular floor slip testing is also an important part of an ADA compliance program.
Tile contractors can use this to test the slip resistance of a tile before they install it for their customer. Non-slip flooring installers can use this meter to measure the difference before and after applying a non-slip solution.

A. Yes. It does come with a one year full factory warranty
Q. How does this compare to other slip meters ?
A. There are other slip meters on the market that are more accurate by a small amount, but they are much more expensive and more difficult to use. We feel this is the best slip meter for the money and for most situations is a clear choice.
Q. How can this slip meter pay for it self ?
A. When you have a slip meter it is possible to preform testing for businesses. The normal price for “on-site call for slip testing” is $250. You can easily see how a few tests could pay for the meter quickly.
