Dry SCOF: 1.176 Wet SCOF: 0.936 The ADA recommends that horizontal surfaces have a SCOF (Static Coefficient of Friction) of at least 0.6. Consequently, the SJS coverplate passes the recommendation both the wet and dry. Tests were conducted according to ASTM C-1028 by an independent testing lab, AMT Laboratories, on stainless-steel coverplates with a standard sand-blasted finish. The same finish is supplied on our aluminum coverplates and the values are therefore expected to be the same.
