1 / 2Pages

1295 PAVEMENT FRICTION TESTER (PFT) The Dynatest 1295 Pavement Friction Tester (PFT) measures the average locked wheel (skid) and peak (slip) friction characteristics on dry or self-wetted paved surfaces. It is designed for maintenance testing to evaluate the alteration of pavement friction resulting from traffic, aging and weathering. The PFT consists of a fully instrumented tow vehicle and test trailer and utilizes the Dynatest two-axis transducer to provide real-time vertical load and horizontal tractive force measurements.
