Assess dry floor friction on site.

Dry floor friction testing uses a different measurement method from wet pendulum testing. Prime Safety uses the Tortus 3 for agreed dry-condition assessment of existing pedestrian surfaces and documents the method, test conditions, measured results and observations in the report.

What the scope can cover

  • Dry testing measures dry conditions and does not use wet P-classification language.
  • Suitable surfaces are confirmed against method and site suitability.
  • Combined wet + dry testing is available when both conditions are relevant.
  • Equipment is calibrated by ISTS, a NATA-accredited laboratory.
  • Results are documented for safety, maintenance and risk-management decisions.
Common Questions

Questions about this service.

Plain-language answers to the questions buyers commonly ask before booking.

01Does dry testing use P-classifications?

No. P0 to P5 are wet pendulum classifications. Dry floor friction testing uses a different measurement and classification method.

02When would I need dry testing?

Dry floor friction testing may be appropriate when the agreed scope requires measurement of a surface under specified dry conditions.

03Can dry testing be combined with wet testing?

Yes. Combined wet + dry testing can be arranged when the site or risk-management scope requires results under both conditions.
