Safer Pedestrian Flooring Surfaces
SESA Technicians can make recommendations not only on the type of test that is appropriate, but also make recommendations on the selection of sites that should be tested. When applied in this way, the dry floor friction test method can indicate the effectiveness of a cleaning regime. Where the surface is generally wet and used in barefoot conditions, choose the wet barefoot ramp method (Appendix C). Such surfaces are primarily designed to provide drainage or entrapment of contaminant material
For soft and porous materials, like electrospun nonwovens made of nanofibers, the specimen is usually a sample strip supported by a paper frame to favour its mounting on the machine and to avoid membrane damagin
Accreditation with the National Association of Testing Authorities
The wet pendulum and dry floor friction test methods (Appendices A and B) may not apply to heavily profiled surfaces. Our technicians are highly trained and utilise the latest technology available including wet pendulum tests to ensure our clients have peace of mind Regular monitoring involves slip resistance testing with either or both methods in AS/NZ 4663. Continuous monitoring of your pedestrian surface through regular testing will ensure the risk of slipping remains known and a responsible risk management plan is maintaine
Note they all break in a “brittle” manner, as the curve is linear until it breaks or fractures with no bending of the curve at high loads. When the sample fractures or breaks the load is released. Of interest here is the final degree to which the material changes shap
The measured strain can be fitted with equations governing different mechanisms of creep, such as power law creep or diffusion creep (see creep for more information). Tensile testing of creep generally follows the same testing process as standard testing albeit generally at lower stresses to remain in the creep domain rather than plastic deformation. Tensile testing can be used to test creep in materials, a slow plastic deformation of the material from constant applied stresses over extended periods of time. When dealing with porous and soft materials, as electrospun nanofibrous membranes, the application of the above stress formula is problematic. For soft and porous materials, like electrospun nonwovens made of nanofibers, the specimen is usually a sample strip supported by a paper frame to favour its mounting on the machine and to avoid membrane damaging. Tensile strength is vital for crack bridging products as it measures the material’s resistance to breaking under tension.

During this process, the elongation of the gauge section is recorded against the applied force. The test process involves placing the test specimen in the testing machine and slowly extending it until it fractures. Alignment of the test specimen in the testing machine is critical, because if the specimen is misaligned, either at an angle or offset to one side, the machine will exert a bending force on the specimen. This type of machine has two crossheads; one is adjusted for the length of the specimen and the other is driven to apply tension to the test specimen. The most common testing machine used in tensile testing is Waterproofing Membranes for Wet Areas the universal testing machine.

Protect Against Insurance Claims & NCC Compliance Failures
The displacement volume test method is a useful test alongside a ramp test where the surface is severely profiled or structured and designed to provide drainage or entrapment of contaminants. While the measurement of slip resistance using wet methods is achieved with Appendices A, C and D, the inherent slip resistance value (uncontaminated surface) is achieved with the dry test (Appendix B) and is the only method suitable for testing under dry conditions. These four slip resistance test options provide an assessment of the contribution of a pedestrian Waterproofing Membranes for Wet Areas surface to the risk of slipping to assist in the specification of a surface material for most pedestrian applications. This test is more suited to profiled or textured surfaces and may provide a classification of either R9, R10, R11, R12 or R1
Same-Day Onsite Slip Test Report
The floor slip test report includes the slip resistance data obtained and comparison against the benchmark recommendations to enable understanding the level of compliance with the standards and to respond accordingly. SESA performs slip resistance testing (floor slip test) in Sydney, NSW, Canberra and ACT for a range of clients including government organisations, property owners and managers, cleaning companies, shopping centres, insurance & loss assessors and lawyers. At SESA, our expert floor slip consultants and slip resistance testing technicians work hard to test and evaluate your floor slip resistance against established floor slip resistance standards and assist you in meeting your obligations to ensure your floor is safe for users. The slip measurement results provided by Slip Testing Services will help you identify and manage the potential slip hazards of your trafficable areas, ensuring that they comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) requirements. Sliptest Australia is a leading independent slip Waterproofing Membranes for Wet Areas testing company and we provide our services to commercial and private clients throughout Australia. We can inspect any floor and provide advice on remedial works should a tested or inspected floor area fail to comply with the requirements of Australian Standards or BSA regulatio
