An adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer has been established to show that the micro-pillar shear-stress sensor can be used in non-constant free-stream flows to measure the wall-shear stress distribution. The quality of the reference has been ensured by additional measurements such as pressure and PIV measurements, and large-eddy simulations. The momentum based Reynolds number is Reθ = 4420 and the Clauser parameter characterizing the pressure gradient is β = 1.77. An introductory discussion on the sensitivity of the micro-pillar shear-stress sensor reveals only little effect of a pressure gradient on the wall-shear stress results since the dependence of the drag force on the velocity distribution is damped. Hence, the sensor is only little sensitive to discrepancies from the linear law of the wall due to a positive pressure gradient. Measurements of wall-shear stress in an APG TBL using MPS are presented. The behavior and accuracy of the sensor is analyzed using the statistical moments. They coincide with the results of the numerical simulation. Furthermore, they reveal an effect of the pressure gradient on the wall-shear stress. Turbulence intensity, skewness and kurtosis are smaller compared to the zero-pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer. This confirms the decrease in number and strength of the near-wall high-speed streaks in the APG TBL which is in good agreement with the findings of Harun et al.
