The friction coefficient surface of the helipad plays a very important role and greatly affects the operational safety of helicopter upon landing, meeting international aviation safety requirements, as well as regulations current domestic regulations. Helicopter could land almost anywhere on a helideck, so the surface should have adequate level of friction should exist wherever the helicopter wheels touchdown.
If the determination of the friction coefficient on the entire helideck surface is only investigated, observed and evaluated with the naked eye, is it possible to ensure the timely, accurate and effective factors?
The investment in specialized friction measuring equipment (CFME) is extremely practical, that are representative of the ‘real’ situation of a helicopter on a helideck, devices CFME employing a continuous measurement technique and surveys that cover the entire surface of the helideck, automated data collection, storage and processing facilities, Export results reports using specialized software. The reported friction coefficient values will be the basis for evaluating the deterioration of the surface friction of the helideck, from which there is a plan for timely maintenance - maintenance - upgrading and in accordance with the requirements for the operation fly safely.
Findlay Irvine Ltd (UK) from its incorporation in 1960 has enjoyed a reputation for developing innovative products and provide cost effective practical solutions, specializing in the manufacture of continuous friction measuring equipment for highways, airports, helipads, ensure meet national and international standards for surface friction.
In October 2020, International Leading Technologies Transfer Co., Ltd. (ILTech) has successfully transferred 01 set of continuous friction measuring equipment (CFME) Model Helideck Micro GripTester of Findlay Irvine. Ltd (UK) for our customer is one of the leading company in the Non-Destructive testing (NDT) in Vietnam.
With a compact, flexible push the hand design, robust construction and reliable performance, Helideck micro GripTester provides Helideck operators with an accurate friction map serving quality acceptance work or maintenance planning periodic, ensure for the operation fly safely.
