Wet DCOF/Safety ConsiderationsDCOF ACUTESTSMThe Wet DCOF AcuTestsm is the new standard for accurately determiningthe actual slip potential on a tile surface. Developed by the Tile Council ofNorth America (TCNA), the Wet DCOF (Dynamic Coefficent of Friction)AcuTest is a repeatable, reproducible method of measuring slip potential.This method uses a specifically engineered device to perform therequired testing, ensuring the most precise results. The Wet DCOFAcuTest is included in the latest version of ANSI A137.1 Specificationsfor Ceramic Tile. The Tile Council of North America (TCNA), established in 1945,has a leadership role in promoting the use of ceramic tile and in developing North American and international industry standards.

Crossville® AppendixDEFINITIONS Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) – Sometimes called kinetic coefficient of friction. This is the ratio of the force necessary to keep aBullnose* – Rounded convex trim used to provide a smooth, rounded edge surface already in motion sliding over another divided by the weightfor countertops, stair steps and building corners. This is the most used trim (or normal force) of an object. This force is a materials property of theshape for wall tile installations. Wall tile bullnose is sometimes referred to two surfaces. DCOF is usually less than SCOF for the same materials.as surface cap. It has one rounded finished edge on the tile and can be used Contaminants such as dirt, water, soap, oil, or grease can change this value.horizontally or vertically. Left Bullnose Corner & Right Bullnose Corner alsoreferred to as Double Bullnose. Honed – Tile that has had the surface mechanically altered to a uniform, semi-polished finish.Calibrated Tile – Tiles that have been sorted to meet a pre-determinedacceptance of variable range in size. Crossville® recommends a grout joint Modular – Tiles of various dimensions are sized so that they may beof 3/16 to 1/4 inch. installed together in patterns with a common specified joint width. The difference between Actual and Nominal is the grout joint.Crossdot® (CD) – each dot, provides increased slip resistance. Polished (PO) – An aggressive grinding process on the surface of the tileCross-Grip® (CGS) – The patented raised-point texture is suitable for areas resulting in an integral mirror like finish on the face of the tiles.where grease, food, oil and other residue tend to accumulate. Rectified/Cross-Grid® – A tile that has had all edges mechanically finished toCross-Sheen® (UPS) – A unique proprietary finish that is not a glaze. It achieve a more precise facial dimension. 3-4mm grout joint recommended.is a special surface preparation that is sprayed onto the tile surface priorto firing. The dense porcelain tiles are then fired at 2200 degree F, the Satin – Tile that has had the surface mechanically altered to produce atreatment actually lowers the melt point on the top layer (1mm) closing smooth, semi-matte finish.and fusing the surface pores, giving the tiles a permanent and integralsurface finish. This fired sheen imparts a high degree of stain resistance Textured (TX) – The appearance and rustic look of natural slate.and facilitates easier removal if dirt build-up does occur. Through-body Color – The color is the same through and through the tile.Cross-Slate® (CS) – This finish combines the rustic and textured feel ofslate with the throughbody color and durability of Porcelain Stone®. Unpolished (UPS) – With Cross-Sheen® finish imparts a subtle glow that enhances the color of the tile and also allows stains and scuff marks to beCross-Tread® (CTS) – The raised pattern surface increases slip resistance easily wiped off the surface.and ease of maintenance making this tile a suitable choice for wet andgreasy floor areas, as well as for exterior walking surfaces.
