Approximately 20% of commercial institutions and 40% of domestic institution accidents are caused by people stumbling and slipping.

Typically, these accidents can be attributed to insufficient floor slipperiness and lack of anti-slip properties. To prevent such incidents, new floors must undergo slip friction testing. Therefore, GTE developed the GMG, the only device that allows for repeatable and reliable measurement of this physical quantity.

Compliant with standards:

The GMG-200 is a mobile testing device that allows for on-site determination of the coefficient of friction for floor coverings according to DIN 51131 and EN 13893. Recommended by the German Health and Safety Authority.

Design features:

1. Independent measurement device (no laptop required)

2. Simple and intuitive operation

3. Robust design

4. Full-text display

5. Built-in rechargeable battery with low voltage indicator signal

6. Internal data storage for up to 90 measurements

7. Automatic measurement curve evaluation

8. Calculation of standard deviation values

9. RS232 interface for PC-based testing

10. Automatic detection of easily replaceable sliders

11. Ergonomic and convenient pull-handle travel case

The design of the slip testing instrument GMG200 is based on the integration of measurement mechanics in the sliding body and measurement electronics, using only one system component to achieve an easy-to-handle measurement system. The instrument is equipped with two interchangeable sliders designated for specific sliding materials. The sliders are coded according to their material and are automatically recognized by the instrument.
