A Pendulum Slip Tester is a device used to measure the slip resistance of surfaces, particularly flooring, to determine their safety for pedestrians. The tester consists of a pendulum arm with a rubber slider mounted on the end that is dragged over the surface being tested. The arm is released from a fixed height, and the distance that the pendulum travels after striking the surface is measured.

The result of the test is a Pendulum Test Value (PTV), which is a measure of the slip resistance of the surface. The higher the PTV, the less slippery the surface is. The Pendulum Slip Tester is commonly used in the UK, Europe, and other countries around the world, including the USA to assess the slip resistance of surfaces in a variety of settings, including public spaces, workplaces, and domestic environments.
