7、er3is a laboratory and fieldinstrument designed to provide information about the slipindex characteristics between walkway surfaces and a test footmaterial under dry conditions only. The HPS can not be usedon wet surfaces. Slip index can be affected by surfaceroughness, presence of water, contaminan

8、ts such as grease andother foreign materials, and floor surface wear over time. Slipindex, as determined by the HPS, most likely will not giveuseful information for evaluating liquid contaminated surfaces,and therefore, will not provide an effective assessment of apotential slipping hazard on a walk

9、way surface under theseconditions.4.2 The value reported by the Horizontal Pull Slipmeter iscalled the slip index. Slip index is ten times the staticcoefficient of friction. For example, a static coefficient offriction of 0.4 is displayed by a slip index of 4.0 whenmeasured by the Horizontal Pull Sl

19、TBT) Committee.1to 0.2 in. (5.08 mm), but not less than 0.2 in. (5.08 mm) inthickness. When testing actual shoe materials, Neolite5shouldbe replaced with the desired test materials.7.2 A set of three test feet of the same material are requiredfor performance of the test.8. Calibration8.1 Place the s

20、witch button, which is located just below thedial, in the center position. No switch is found on later modelChatillon DPP-5 gages. Later model gages have replaced theswitch button with a peak hold mode feature.8.2 Grasp the slipmeter and hold in vertical position.8.3 Set the gage on zero by moving t

21、he rim on the gage.8.4 Use a separate hook to suspend the slipmeter by thehook located on one end of the slipmeter. The slipmeter shouldhang freely.8.5 The needle on the dial of the gage should be withincalibration range as indicated on the dial. If it is not within thecalibration range, the HPS sho

22、uld be sent to the manufacturer4for calibration.9. Conditioning9.1 For testing in laboratories, condition test feet for at least18 to 24 h in atmosphere maintained at 73 6 3.6F (22.8 62C) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity.9.2 When testing feet in the field or on fixed floor surfaces,conditioning of tes

23、t feet in accordance with 9.1 may not bepossible. The results obtained during the ruggedness testindicated that temperature could have a significant effect on themeasured slip index when tested at 50 and 85F. Interpolationhas not been established to make proper adjustments fordifferent temperature a

24、nd humidity. However, it is recom-mended that the temperature and humidity be recorded, sincethese records could help explain potential inconsistencies.10. Procedure10.1 Insert a set of three test feet in the slipmeter recesses.Test feet can be held in place using all purpose glue.10.2 Mount the abr

25、asive paper on a flat 3 by 7-in. (76.2 by77.8-mm) piece of 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) plywood.10.3 Sand the test feet with No. 400 abrasive paper. Thesanding procedure should consist of five strokes of 5 to 6 in. inlength, parallel to the friction measurement direction, followedby five strokes of 5 to 6 in.

26、in length, perpendicular to thefriction measurement direction.10.4 Lightly brush the test feet using the non-static brush toremove loose surface particles.10.5 Place the slipmeter on its feet on the test walkwaysurface. The hook end shall face the power unit. Be sure allthree test feet rest on the l

27、evel walkway surface and not on agrout joint or other uneven surface.10.6 Place the slipmeter power unit on the walkway surfacein front of the slipmeter.10.7 Put the switch that permits retention of maximum slipindex indication in the center position. For later model Chatil-lon DPP-5 gages with no s

28、witch, ignore this step.10.8 Set the slip index meter on zero by rotating the bezeluntil pointer meets zero on dial. For later model gages with noswitch, use black knob on dial to set red needle on zero withblack peak hold needle immediately to right.10.9 Push the switch on top of the gage toward th

29、e hooklessend of the slipmeter to record the maximum. For later modelgages with no switch, ignore this step.NOTE 1Total weight of slipmeter less power unit is 5.95 6 0.07 lb (2700 6 34 g). Speed of power unit is 3.5 6 0.5 in./min. Later model ChatillonDPP-5 gages do not have a switch. Peak hold feat

30、ure is found in the gage dial.FIG. 1 Horizontal Pull SlipmeterF609 05 (2013)210.10 Connect the string of the power unit pulley to thehook of the slipmeter. The string should be parallel with the testsurface and in line with the pulley on the power unit. Align thepulley on the power unit with the hoo

31、k on the slipmeter. Besure to keep the string alignment from the pulley straight (0 to5) with the hook on the slip meter. The string length betweenthe pulley and the hook of the slipmeter should not be tooshort, that is, no less than 4 in. or no more than two loopsaround the pulley.10.11 Hold down t

32、he power unit with one or both hands toprevent it from moving; then depress the switch.NOTE 1 Do not exceed 10 min dwell time between placing the testfeet in contact with the walkway surface and slip index measurement. Thisdwell time is the time needed from 10.5 to and including 10.11. Slip indexsho

33、uld be measured within 30 min after sanding and brushing, detailed in10.3 and10.11.10.12 Switch off the power unit when the slipmeter beginsto move.10.13 Record the peak slip index reading shown on the slipindex gage (position of black needle). Record slip indexreadings in excess of 8 as 8.10.14 Rep

34、eat 10.5 through 10.13 for a total of four times foreach location. Rotate the slipmeter 90 in the same direction(clockwise or counterclockwise) after each time.11.
