Need help deciding? Here are the different Tribometers [slip meters] compared.

Ceramic Tile Institute of America endorses the Tortus and the Pendulum.  In a study of nine types of tribometers at the University of Southern California Medical Center in which slip-and-fall experts from around the world participated, the Tortus received the highest rating; click here for details.  SlipAlert has had very favorable reviews from British and Australian government safety research agencies. The static coefficient of friction method ASTM C 1028 is principally used for manufacturing quality control purposes rather than assessing slip resistance, but is sometimes specified as an indicator of slip resistance. We recommend using the Tortus or pendulum test instead, as these are more reliable and are recommended for slip resistance by Ceramic Tile Institute of America.

The pendulum flies from right to left, sweeping out a five-inch-long path where its three-inch-wide slider contacts the floor

SlipAlert’s 1 3/4-inch slider contacts floor on its trailing edge while rolling of front wheels adds negligible friction:

BOT-3000 Binary Output Tribometer can measure both static and dynamic friction, and with "smart" sensors is the latest in floor friction technology (click on the photo below for a 2 minute VIDEO DEMONSTRATION)
