United States1would damage or discolor the pavement so as to leave animpressed traffic lane mark.4.1.2 Type II (Non-Removable)This type of tape shall notbe required to have removal characteristics as in 4.1.1.NOTE 2Type II tapes are most often used for short term applicationsin which mar

Ordering Information5.1 The purchaser using this specification shall include thefollowing information:5.1.1 ASTM designation (D4592),5.1.2 Classification Type (I or II; see 4.1),5.1.3 Daytime color (See 6.3),5.1.4 Width and length
17、 of rolls, and5.1.5 Any additional information.6. Requirements6.1 Physical Requirements:6.1.1 The marking tape shall be a reflective film coated witha pressure-sensitive adhesive with or without a protective liner.6.1.2 The marking tape shall be flexible and shall conformto the typical road pavement
18、 surface.6.1.3 The marking tape shall adhere to asphalt or portlandcement concrete roadway surfaces when applied according tothe manufacturers recommended procedures on pavementsurfaces having temperatures down to 50F (10C) at the timeof application.6.1.4 Immediately following application, the tape
19、shall notrequire a cure or set time prior to opening to traffic.6.1.5 The tape as supplied shall be free of cracks, and havetrue, straight, and unbroken edges. The actual width of rolls ofpreformed marking tape used for striping shall be no less thanthe nominal (stated) width and no more than18 in.
20、(3 mm)greater than the nominal width. The length shall be no less thanthe stated length.6.2 Retroreflection:6.2.1 The marking tape shall be retroreflective, reflectingwhite or yellow, respectively, and shall be readily visible whenviewed with automobile headlights at night and shall haveminimum refl
21、ective values as shown in Table 1 when measuredin accordance with the photometric testing procedures of TestMethod D4061 or E1710.NOTE 3Retroreflectance may be dependent on the direction in whichthe material is manufactured (in other words, upweb RLmay differ fromdownweb RL.)6.2.2 The retroreflectan
22、ce of the marking tape shall bemeasured in one roll-winding direction and then re-measuredin the opposite direction. Both measured values shall complywith the stated RLminimum.6.2.3 Reflective values shall be expressed as coefficient ofretroreflected luminance (RL) in millicandelas per square meterp
23、er lux (millicandelas per square foot per footcandle).6.2.3.1 DiscussionThe values presented for the coefficientof retroreflected luminance (RL) are presented in SI units,which are the accepted worldwide norm for expressing thisvalue, rather than in inch-pounds.6.3 Color:6.3.1 The white and yellow m

(25.4 mm) in width, appliedaccording to the manufacturers recommended procedure andtested in accordance with Test Methods D1000, shall haveminimum adhesion values as shown in Table 2.6.5 Sk
25、id Resistance:6.5.1 The Type I marking tape shall have an averageminimum frictional resistance value of 45 BPN (British Pen-dulum Number) when tested according to Test Method E303.NOTE 4Skid resistance is not required for Type II non-removabletapes that are typically applied for a short duration and
26、 then paved over.NOTE 5Skid resistance levels of 45 BPN correspond to tapes havingexposed retroreflective glass beads. Higher levels of skid resistance areachievable with the addition of skid-resistant elements.NOTE 6For tapes with a surface pattern, results are often quitevariable. These tapes may
27、be tested in a direction parallel to the flow oftraffic and 45 from the direction of traffic, and the results averaged.7. Durability and Wear Resistance7.1 Factors Affecting Durability and Wear Resistance:7.1.1 Features of the pavement marking tape, such asthickness and wear surface material, may af
28、fect durability. Ingeneral, thicker materials wear longer than thinner materials ofthe same composition. Wear surfaces composed of hardermaterials, such as urethanes, may be more durable than thosemade of softer materials, like vinyl.7.1.2 Roadway characteristics affect durability. Rough roadsurface
29、s, porous surfaces, and high traffic volumes tend todecrease service life of markings. A high percentage of largevehicles tends to decrease service life. Locations where ve-hicles encroach or turn on the markings decrease service life.Techniques and materials used for control of ice and snow alsoaff
30、ect durability.7.2 Because no practical laboratory procedures have beendetermined to provide complete, reliable, predictive informa-tion on durability and wear resistance, the user is encouraged toseek information from alternate sources.NOTE 7The National Transportation Product Evaluation Program,ad
31、ministered by AASHTO, publishes data on the durability of manypavement marking tapes gathered from various annual test decks.

DISCUSSION OF “30-METRE” GEOMETRYX1.1 The European Committee for Standardization (CEN)originally devel
35、oped the geometry used in this standard formeasuring the retroreflectance of preformed tape (entranceangle 88.76 and observation angle 1.05). The angles werederived using theoretically typical heights for headlamps anddrivers eyes. These heights were further simplified by assum-ing a single headlamp
36、 is mounted directly under the driverseye (see Fig. X1.1). The geometry is considered a goodapproximation for drivers viewing preformed tape on a flatroad, 30 m ahead of a car.FIG.
