Abstract A critical appraisal of the Shoe Slip Tester, SST, is discussed the paper. The SST is designed to be a portable and practical alternative to the Ramp tester which is currently considered the Gold Standard in slip resistance testing. Tests identical safety shoe samples were carried out using the SST and RAMP in parallel and the data yielded compared. Data showed that the Shoe Slip Tester yielded higher coefficients of friction. Controlling the data for force applied at shoe impact gave good correlation between the two devices. Recommendations are made to the design of the SST from data in this paper. Recommendations will improve correlation between the two devices. The SST can be said to be a suitable alternative.

开发新型鞋/地板防滑试验台

摘要 本文讨论了对鞋滑试验机 SST 的批判性评价。SST 旨在成为斜坡测试仪的便携式和实用替代品，斜坡测试仪目前被认为是防滑测试的黄金标准。使用 SST 和 RAMP 并行测试相同的安全鞋样品，并比较产生的数据。数据表明，鞋滑测试仪产生了更高的摩擦系数。控制鞋冲击时施加的力的数据在两个设备之间提供了良好的相关性。本文根据数据对 SST 的设计提出了建议。建议将改善两个设备之间的相关性。SST可以说是一个合适的选择。
