Slip Meter ASM 825A
The 825A tests to the ANSI/NFSI B101.1-2009 and is shipped as a complete kit with all accessories included. It is also shipped as one meter of the combo DCOF and SCOF kit.
Features
- The most widely used meter worldwide
- NFSI Recognized Device for the 825A. The 825A utilizes Neolite sensors and SLS wetting agent
- Very easy to operateTests to the ANSI/NFSI B101.1-2009 for the 825A
- High accuracy - GR&R on both low & high traction surfaces < 3%
- Smaller size than other SCOF meters. The footprint is 5.05” (12.8 cm) x 2.85” (7.24 cm)
- Light weight 5 lbs. (2.26 kg)
- No rechargeable battery packs, Operates on one 9 volt battery
- Can test most stairs in 3 directions, some in 4 directions
- Test ramps and tubs without the problem of testing up or down the slope
- Hard-shell carrying case fits airline overheads and under most seats

Procedure
- It is very simple to operate. There is a quick hanging calibration that weighs the unit and then it is ready to use for dry or wet testing.
- When "wet testing" the dwell time that the meter sits on the wet surface prior to applying force should be kept to a minimal amount of time.
- One way is to lift up on the handle so the meter is just touching on the edge of 2 of the feet verses sitting flat, then just as you are ready to apply pressure, let the meter down, apply pressure to the meter by curling your finger in towards the palm of your hand while watching the front of the meter for forward movement, once the meter moves the static test is complete.
- Check the display for the results.
Calibration: Test materials referenced in various ASTM and ANSI/NFSI standards. Only takes a few seconds to calibrate while in the field. Display holds the high reading until recorded. The new ASM 825A model was designed to improve accuracy and repeatability for wet testing. The meters calibrate to the NFSI test tile wet. (NFSI tile only has a wet value) without adding calibration factors.
