The table below compares the friction and grip-ability of selected samples. Specimens were tested in dry, wet and oiled conditions. Independently tested material and devices are not to ASTM specification. Testing was based on ASTM G115-98 (testing coefficient of friction), ASTM A947M-95 (specs for textured steel), and ASTM A554 (standards for manufactured tubing). The data is provided as a selection guide and is not intended to substitute for certified testing.
