42、 Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Preparation of Test Tire:8.1.1 Trim the test tires to remove all protuberances in thetread area caused by mold air vents or flashes at moldjunctions.8.1.2 Test tires should be stored in such a location that theyall have the same ambient temperature prior to testing andsh

43、ield them from the sun to avoid excessive heating by solarradiation.8.1.3 Mount the test tire onTire and RimAssociation (TRA)recommended rim4(6.5) by using conventional mountingmethods. Caution: Assure proper bead seating by the use of asuitable lubricant. Excessive use of lubricant should be avoide

The test tireinflation pressure shall be 35 6 0.5 psi. (241 6 3 kPa)9. Calibration9.1 Vehicle SpeedCalibrate the test vehicle speed i

45、ndica-tor at the test speed by determining the time for traversing atconstant speed a reasonably level and straight, accuratelymeasured pavement of a length appropriate for the method oftiming. Load the test trailer to its specified operating weight forthis calibration. Record speed variations durin

46、g a traverse withthe test system. Make a minimum of three runs at each testspeed to complete the calibration. Other methods of equivalentaccuracy may be used. Calibration of a fifth wheel shall beperformed in accordance with Method F 457.10. Conditioning10.1 Pretest Tire Conditioning:10.1.1 Test tir

47、e pretest conditioning shall be performed toprecondition all tires prior to initial testing. Pretest condition-ing is to be done only once per tire and prior to any actual testmeasurements. This process is recommended because the newtire burnish effect may have an influence on the peak brakingcoeffi

48、cient obtained and to minimize test variability caused bytransient, non-preconditioned, tire braking performance.10.1.2 Pretest tire conditioning shall be conducted on a dryand level surface. Each tire shall be chirped ten times at 20mph (32 km/h) under test load.10.2 General Test Conditions:10.2.1

49、The test surface shall be free of loose material orforeign deposits.10.2.2 Do not test when wind conditions interfere withwetted test repeatability. Test results may be influenced bywind speed, or direction, or both. The magnitude of thisdependence is a function of the water depth, applicationprocedures, and surface wind protection.11.
