ZHTest Method: SATRA TM449
Test method to determine rotational slip (torque) of footwear and floorings
January 2020
SCOPE
This method is applicable to a wide range of whole footwear and flooring materials. A force platform is used to determine the rotational forces (torque) experienced between footwear and a flooring surface during the rotational movement of the flooring in a biomechanical walking machine.
PRINCIPLE
An automated walking machine is used to apply forces representative of a walking action, including rotational forces between footwear and flooring. The forces are measured by a force platform that is placed under the flooring surface. The method can be used to assess either sample footwear against a standardized or reference piece of flooring, or to assess sample flooring, in which case a standardized or reference piece of footwear would be used.
