Shoe Sole Slip Resistance Tester
1. Product Introduction & Applications
The Shoe Sole Slip Resistance Tester is designed to measure the static anti-slip performance of footwear soles, heels, and similar materials. It quantifies the force required to initiate slip, providing objective data on safety and traction.
Applications:
Quality control of footwear materials to ensure slip resistance.
R&D for developing safer, non-slip shoes.
Testing of soles, heels, or other shoe components under standardized conditions.
Ensuring compliance with occupational safety and footwear performance standards.
Working Principle:
A weighted test foot (sled) with the test material is placed on a standardized surface. The tester applies a controlled horizontal pulling force, and the static coefficient of friction (SCOF) is calculated as the ratio of the horizontal force to the normal weight of the test foot.
2. Conformity Standards
The tester is designed to comply with:
ASTM F609 — Standard Test Method for Flat Pull Slides (HPS) for static anti-slip performance of footwear materials.
Compliance ensures repeatable, accurate, and comparable results across different labs and footwear samples.
