BOT-3000E

The Scientific Approach to Slip Resistance

What is the BOT-3000E?

The BOT-3000E (Binary Output Tribometer) manufactured by Regan Scientific Instruments, is a highly precise, digital instrument capable of measuring the dynamic and static coefficient of friction (COF) of walkway surfaces in the lab and in the field.

The BOT-3000E is used worldwide and has become the industry accepted tribometer of choice.

The device can measure both static and dynamic coefficient of friction with a variety of test sliders in both wet and dry conditions.

The BOT-3000E is used worldwide and has become the industry accepted tribometer of choice within American National Standards.

The BOT-3000E is the only device named for use in the only American national consensus standard, ANSI A326.3.

How the BOT-3000E Works

The BOT-3000E and ANSI A326.3 are the results of published research conducted in the United States and Germany and represent the sound scientific methodology required to meet the “Daubert” rule of evidence in United States federal and state courts.

The device is a motorized drag-sled which moves at a constant velocity along the floor surface. While moving, the slip resistance is metered and recorded via a standardized rubber sensing module in contact with the floor.
