Can somebody please tell me what the proper name is of the machine that measures slip resistance on surfaces. Even better can somebody point me towards a supplier, John

Just priced the Surtronic Duo up and was quite surprised at the cost. Will have to check my budget. Thanks to both of you.

Not cheap, but then this is a precision instrument.

I take it they will be added costs for callibration as well? Not used on myself and not too converse with them

The surtronic comes with a self-calibration precision plate (of known surface roughness). Also a precision item and needs proper care and storage, and the meter device is calibrated using that plate (everytime you use it). As you surmise though, there's a 12 month recommended factory calibration over and above that for the precision plate itself.
