What is this BS EN 14903 - Determination of rotational friction between multi-sports floor systems about?
BS EN 14903 discusses surfaces for sports areas with a focus on multi-sports floor systems for indoor use.
BS EN 14903 specifies a method for the determination of the friction between multi-sports floor systems excluding synthetic turf for indoor use and a rotating foot with a vertical load. The method is applicable to tests carried out in the laboratory and on site.
Who is BS EN 14903 - Determination of rotational friction between multi-sports floor systems for?
BS EN 14903 on determination of rotational friction between multi-sports floor systems is useful for:
- Manufactures of sports equipment
- Sports facility management
- Laboratories
- Government authorities
- Sports federations
- Sporting commission officials
Why should you use BS EN 14903- Determination of rotational friction between multi-sports floor systems?
Friction is measured by allowing a circular test foot, with attached test soles, to rotate on the sports surface under a vertical load. The friction resistance is calculated by recording the torque when the rotating test foot touches the test surface and then slides in rotation until the foot comes to a complete stop.
BS EN 14903 discusses the determination of rotational friction, sampling, laboratory testing, testing on site, apparatus, test device, measuring and recording instruments, preparation of test pieces, laboratory testing, field testing, procedure, evaluation, and expression of results.
