Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of skid resis-tance of paved surfaces with a specified full-scale automotivetire.1.2 T
3、his test method utilizes a measurement representingthe steady-state friction force on a locked test wheel as it isdragged over a wetted pavement surface under constant loadand at a constant speed while its major plane is parallel to itsdirection of motion and perpendicular to the pavement.1.3 The va

Thevalues are intended for use in evaluating the skid resistance ofa pavement r
5、elative to that of other pavements or for evaluatingchanges in the skid resistance of a pavement with the passageof time. The values are insufficient to determine the distancerequired to stop a vehicle on either a wet or a dry pavement.They are also insufficient for determining the speed at whichcon

The SI values given in parentheses areprovided for information only.1.5 This standard does not purport to addre

General
44、7.1 Test PreparationCondition new tires by running themat or near their rated load and inflation pressure on the testvehicle (or on another suitable vehicle) at normal traffic speedsfor at least 200 miles (300 km) or equivalent before they areused for test purposes. Prior to each series of tests, wa
45、rm up thetire by traveling for at least 5 miles (10 km) at normal trafficspeeds. Inspect the tire for flat spots, damage, or otherirregularities that may affect test results, and replace if it hasbeen damaged or is worn beyond the wear line. Check thetest-wheel load (if adjustable) and adjust, if ne
46、cessary, prior toeach test series to within the value specified in 4.3. Set the testtire inflation pressure at 24 6 0.5 psi (165 6 3 kPa) at ambienttemperature just before the 5-mile (10-km) warmup.7.2 Test SectionsTest sections shall be defined as sectionsof pavement of uniform age and uniform comp
47、osition that havebeen subjected to essentially uniform wear. For instance, sharpcurves and steep grades shall not be included in the same testsection with level tangent sections, nor shall passing lanes beincluded with traffic lanes. Take skid-resistance measurementsonly on pavements that are free o
48、f obvious contamination.7.2.1 Steel Grated Bridge DecksThese surfaces may betested using the same procedures as those used on pavementsbut the test section must include only the uniform portion of thebridge deck.7.3 Skid Resistance of a Test SectionMake at least fivedeterminations of the skid resist
49、ance, at intervals not greaterthan 0.5 mile (1 km), in each test section with the test vehicleat the same lateral position in any one lane and at eachspecified test speed. Consider the arithmetic average of alldeterminations to be the skid resistance of the test section. Ifstatistical or other criteria applied to the skid number for a longtest section indicate that it cannot be considered to be uniform,treat the section as two or more sections.
