8、nce and Use3.1 This practice is an accelerated evaluation of beadretention, retroreflectivity, daytime color, night time color, andwear characteristics of fluid traffic marking materials. It is usedto determine the useful life of such markings in the field. Thesame procedures are applicable to evalu

9、ating longitudinal linesto determine service life.4. Type and Location of Pavement for Tests4.1 Select sections where traffic is moderate and free-rollingwith no grades, curves, intersections, or access points nearenough to cause excessive braking or turning movements,where wear is uniform with full

10、 exposure to the sun throughoutdaylight hours, and there is good drainage. Select surfaces thatare representative of the pavements upon which the fluid trafficmarking material will be used in practice. Such surfacesinclude portland cement concrete, sheet asphalt, bituminousconcrete, rock asphalt, an

11、d bituminous surface treatment.5. Conditions at Time of Application5.1 Clean the test area thoroughly of all foreign material.Follow the pavement marking manufacturers recommendationfor the application of the pavement marking to be tested. Thisshould include the recommendations for air and pavementt

12、emperature, material temperature, relative humidity, windchill, and wind speed. Application between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.is recommended. During application record air and pavementtemperature, wind speed, and relative humidity hourly.6. Measurement of Wet Film Thickness6.1 To aid in obtaining the correc

13、t film thickness, a length ofroofing paper placed by the side of the road can be used. Placea rigid metal test panel on the roofing paper and in the path ofthe test line. A 300 by 300-mm (12 by 12-in.) metal panel 1.5mm (116 in.) in thickness is satisfactory. Immediately after thetest line is applie

Measurement of Glass Beads7.1 After the completion of 6.1, apply another test line to atared panel with the motorized striper, this time also adding theglass beads, and weigh immediately. The weight differencebetween this measurement and that in 6.1 gives the amount ofg

27、lass beads on the panel. Prior to weighing the panel, removeexcess glass beads which are not adhered to the pavementmarking from the panel to ensure an accurate representation ofthe bead rate. The process can be repeated if an adjustment inthe bead application rate is needed. The weight of applied g

28、lassbeads per gallon of pavement marking material can be calcu-lated as follows:W 5 1.418 3 B 3 T 15!where:W = weight of glass beads, g,B = glass beads per gallon of paint, lb., andT = thickness of paint being applied, mil.7.1.1 To calculate the bead rate in terms of weight per unitarea use the foll

29、owing calculation:Bead Rate lbs 100 ft2! 5 W A! * 100where:W = weight of glass beads, lb andA = area of pavement marking, ft2.7.2 Unless a manufacturer has requested to use a specialcoated bead, glass beads meeting requirements of AASHTOM247 for Type I Beads (identified at the time of application)wi

30、ll be applied to the pavement markings. The coating on thebeads shall be specified by the purchaser and shall be noted aspart of the test report. For standard traffic paint applied at 15wet mil the glass beads shall be applied at a rate of 6 poundsper gallon (6 lbs/100 ft2) and will be supplied by t

31、he testingagency. The testing agency will provide quality control testresults for the beads provided.7.3 Use of special beads or other retroreflective optics maybe applied at the manufacturers recommended application rateand method. If this is to be done the manufacturer shall providethe recommended

32、 application methodology, and applicationrate in the form of weight per unit area (such as lb/100 ft2) foreach bead or retroreflective optic that is to be used. Themanufacturer shall also provide the technical information forthe material being used to include such things as materialdescription, pert

33、inent specifications met, physical propertiessuch as size, roundness, chemical properties, and coatingcharacteristics. This information shall be available as part ofthe report.7.4 If the bead or reflective optic application can be con-trolled then the actual bead application rate shall be determined

34、and included as part of the report. If the rate cannot beconsistently controlled then the beads or reflective opticsshould be applied in such a manner to fully saturate (flood) themarking and this should be reflected in the report.8. Application Procedure8.1 Apply the test stripes at the required wi

35、dth and trans-versely on the road. At the option of the purchaser, the teststripes may be applied to the pavement at an angle of 45 to thedirection of the traffic, or longitudinally in each wheel path, inorder to increase the area of contact with traffic. If the markingsare to be applied in a longit

36、udinal pattern then the patternshould be discussed and agreed to prior to conducting the fieldtest.8.2 Apply test stripes (trained personnel under the supervi-sion of the purchaser) by using a pavement-marking machinesimilar to the production pavement marking equipment. ApplyD713 12 (2017)2the test

38、fic.8.3 Apply at least two lines of each specimen in eachsection for better statistical reliability. A tared panel as used inthe measurement of glass beads (see 7.1) should be placedbetween the wheel track of one lines application as a doublecheck for material and glass bead application rates. Weigh

39、tsbetween this reading and that found in 7.1 should agree within0.5 g. The purchaser may wish to place another smaller panelbetween the wheel tracks to retain for future reference. Thethickness of samples shall be checked within the first three footsection of the test lines.8.4 For standard traffic

40、paint the road surface test linesshould have a wet film thickness within 61.0 mil of thatrequired by the purchaser.NOTE 1If no wet film thickness is specified, 15.0 mil is recom-mended.8.5 High build waterborne paints, epoxies, modifiedepoxies, polyurea, Methacrylate, and other exotic materialsteste

41、d shall be applied at the rate recommended by themanufacturer with a 15 mil minimum. The minimum milthickness for thermoplastic material tested shall be 30 mil. Ifthe pavement markings are applied by some other method thanspray, such as extrusion, it must be done with a piece ofequipment that will p
