CFME T-5 Trailer

CFME T-5 — Heavy-Duty Continuous Friction Measurement Trailer

The CFME T-5 is a full-size, heavy-duty continuous friction measurement trailer designed for large-scale pavement network surveys on national highways, expressways, and airport runways. It measures the sideway force friction coefficient (SFC) using a fixed slip-angle test wheel and onboard water delivery system, enabling continuous high-speed skid resistance profiling.

JS Civil Lab Solutions supplies the CFME T-5 for highway agencies, NHAI zone offices, and airport authorities requiring regulatory compliance friction surveys.

Technical Specifications

• Method: SCRIM (Sideways Force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine) principle
• Slip angle: Fixed 20° for sideway friction measurement
• Survey speed: Up to 80 km/h
• Water tank: 400+ litres onboard for extended surveys
• Data output: Continuous SFC, GPS coordinates, lane-by-lane analysis
• Standards: EN 13036-2, ASTM E274, ICAO Annex 14

Comparison with CFME T2GO

The T-5 is suited to large network-level surveys on high-speed corridors where continuous survey without stopping to refill water is critical. The T2GO is more compact and agile for shorter sections or airport surveys. Both systems output comparable SFC data.
