1、Designation: E 1486 98 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forDetermining Floor Tolerances Using Waviness, Wheel Pathand Levelness Criteria1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1486; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the
2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers data collection and analysisprocedures to determine surface fl
3、atness and levelness bycalculating waviness indices for survey lines and surfaces,elevation differences of defined wheel paths, and levelnessindices using the inch-pound system of units.NOTE 1This test method is the companion to SI Test MethodE 1486M; therefore, no SI equivalents are shown in this t
4、est method.NOTE 2This test method was not developed for, and does not applyto, clay or concrete paver units.1.1.1 The purpose of this test method is to provide the userwith floor tolerance estimates as follows:1.1.1.1 Local survey line waviness and overall surfacewaviness indices for floors based on
5、 deviations from themidpoints of imaginary chords as they are moved along a floorelevation profile survey line. End points of the chords arealways in contact with the surface. The imaginary chords cutthrough any points in the concrete surface higher than thechords.1.1.1.2 Defined wheel path criteria
6、 based on transverse andlongitudinal elevation differences, change in elevation differ-ence, and root mean square (RMS) elevation difference.1.1.1.3 Levelness criteria for surfaces characterized by ei-ther of the following methods: the conformance of elevationdata to the test section elevation data
7、mean or the conformanceof the RMS slope of each survey line to a specified slope foreach survey line.1.1.2 The averages used throughout these calculations areRMS (that is, the quadratic means). This test method givesequal importance to humps and dips, measured up (+) anddown (), respectively, from t
8、he imaginary chords.1.1.3 Appendix X1 is a commentary on this test method.Appendix X2 provides a computer program for waviness indexcalculations based on this test method.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility
9、 of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
