In addition, the testfoam must have a mass loss of 40 6 2 % as measured by TestMethod C 421. Test blocks must be cut

Fabrics used over a shock-absorbingpad should be tested after bonding to that underpad.8.2 In the case of field evaluation abrasiv

In the case of field evaluation, five tests shall beperformed, and may be required, in the area of interest or ov
19、erthe entire playing surface depending on the intended data use.9.2 The sampling procedures of Recommended PracticesE 105 and E 122 should be followed and may be required.10. Sample Conditioning10.1 Field samples shall be under the intended use condi-tion, although loose debris shall be removed prio

Other laboratory samplesshall be preconditioned at 65 6 2 % relative humidity and
21、 216 1C (70 6 2F) for a minimum of 4 h. Samples evaluated atconditions other than that of the laboratory must be testedimmediately after a minimum of 4 h conditioning.10.3 Condition test blocks in the laboratory for at least 4 hbefore use at 65 % relative humidity and 21 6 1C (70 6 2F).11. Procedure

The blockscan be secured using double-stick carpet tape. Position the testframe such that it can be pulle
23、d with, against, or across thefabric machine direction. Center the 9.072-kg (20-lb) testweight on the test frame and attach the pull cable hook.11.3 Pull the loaded frame 45.7 cm (18.0 in.) in eachprimary surface direction (with, across, against, across, for3Available from UpJohn Corp., CPR Div., 55
24、5 Alaska Ave., Torrance, CA.FIG. 1 Test FixtureF1015032example), in succession without lifting the test frame so as tooutline a “square” on the surface. The test rate is not critical,but the time to travel each 45.7 cm (18-in.) side must bebetween 8 and 12 s.11.4 Note any deviations in rate, how smo
25、othly the testframe could be pulled, and any deviation from a square pattern.11.5 Carefully remove and store the test blocks for weigh-ing.11.6 Repeat the test procedure as required in 9.1 and 9.2.11.7 Record the general condition of the surface; whethermatted, clean, worn, etc. Temperature, humidit
26、y (or wet/dry)should also be noted.12. Calculation12.1 Abrasiveness IndexDetermine the weight loss foreach set of four blocks in grams. Divide the weight lossexpressed in grams by 6.0 and multiply by 100 to determine theabrasiveness index. Average the specimen values and expressthe result as an inte

The reference fabric used should also beidentified.13.1.2 Conditions of test, including surface temperature,humidity, and any other pertinent data.13.1.3 Date of test.13.1.4 Procedure used.13.1.5 Description of surface, such as new, wash
29、ed, matted,swept clean, or wet.13.1.6 Average value for each procedure, standard devia-tion, and number of samples.14. Discussion14.1 With regard to precision, the reproducibility is esti-mated to be 610 %.14.2 Potential sources of error or deviations are as follows;14.2.1 Variations in density, mat
30、erial, compressive strength,or cell properties of the friable test foam.14.2.2 Variations in path of friable test foam.14.2.3 Path deviationSince the weighted foam is notconstrained to move in a straight path as it is pulled in aprincipal direction, it will tend to drift somewhat in thedirection of
31、pile angle. The deviation of the abrasion patternleft on the surface from a square reflects the directionality ofthe surface.15. Precision and Bias15.1 Precision and bias evaluations have not been con-ducted for this test method. When such data is available, aprecision and bias section will be added
