ISO 7176-13 Wheelchairs - Determination of Friction Coefficient of Test Surfaces

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 7176-13 testing. The test method generally consists of scratching a certain block on the test surface of a rough structure at a certain speed. The underside of the block is coated with a standard layer of rubber to achieve comparable results.

ISO 7176-13 Wheelchairs - Determination of Friction Coefficient of Test Surfaces

The coefficient of friction between the wheelchair and the test surface depends on the characteristics of the wheelchair tires and the test surface.

Since it is desirable to compare the test results of different wheelchairs on comparable test surfaces, this test procedure was developed to define the test surface in terms of coefficient of friction using a standard method independent of the wheelchair tested.

The method consists of pulling a certain block with an interface made of standard rubber over the test surface at a certain speed.
