The Pendulum is used to measure the coefficient of friction of a floor for use in determining whether or not the floor is safe in wet or dry conditions. It can be used to measure the effectiveness of anti-slip treatments as well as to investigate slip and fall accidents. For more information on the Pendulum or on anti-slip floor treatments, visit SafetyDirectAmerica.com
The pendulum path length on the floor is always set at five inches by using a ruler and adjusting the vertical position of the pendulum (using the knob on the top) as needed. The vertical position is then locked using a knob in the back that doesn't show in the photos. -- George Sotter

how do you first set the pendulum swing? This will greatly effect the outcome won't it?
