Application
Helideck micro GripTester is the world’s first purpose built
continuous friction measuring device designed specifically for
testing Helidecks and Helicopter Landing Zones. It has been
purpose built to cope with harsh offshore environments and for
transportation too hard to reach facilities. Using the same locked
wheel system as GripTester MK2 it provides Helideck Operators
with an accurate friction map to focus maintenance and remove
the need for nets.
Ease of Use
Helideck micro GripTester’s light weight, robust construction and
reliable performance make it the most deployable push friction
tester in the world.
The inbuilt display unit simply guides users through the testing
process and allows the whole of the Helideck surface to be
covered to a resolution of not less than 1m2. It measures the
surface friction values across the helideck area, inside the
touchdown/positioning marking and paint markings.
Software
Features & Benefits The inbuilt software and touchscreen display are designed to help
guide the user through the testing process. The data is stored on
the display unit and easily transferred via USB in CSV and MDB
formats.
Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment The free analysis software allows Helideck Operators to easily view
the data as it is converted to illustrate the friction levels in an easy
UKCAA CAP 437 Compliant to read colour coded system with the parameters as defined in
UKCAA CAP 437. This makes it quick and easy to see friction
Designed for all seasons deficient areas on the Helideck and program maintenance to
rectify the exact individual area.
