Published study after study shows the English XL (VIT) is not an adequate scientific floor slip resistance testing device, and the Brungraber Mark IIIB measures the floor in the same inadequate way
Study after study has been showing for over twenty years now that the flawed and bogus floor slip resistance testing tribometer the English XL (VIT) should never be trusted to give reliable slip resistance test data.

ASTM D2047 – an unreliable, irrelevant and worthless “floor safety” scam
ASTM D2047 was first published by the ASTM in 1953 using the James Machine to assess the “safety” of Floor Wax and Floor Polish. It was never intended to be used to assess the safety of floors, but because about 99% of floor waxes back in the 1950’s “passed” this nonsensical “test” with greater than … Continue reading “ASTM D2047 – an unreliable, irrelevant and worthless “floor safety” scam”
