Summary of Test Method4.1 A 2.25-kg missile is dropped from a specific height,through a guide tube, onto a playing surface. A linear acceler-ometer mounted on the missile monitors the acceleration andtime history o
11、f the impact. The maximum acceleration duringthe impact (relative to gravity) is recorded and reported asg-max. Reporting the time history of the impact is optional.Depth of penetration from successive drops may also berecorded optionally as an indication of soil compactibility.NOTE 1This test metho
12、d is based on an impact tester developed byClegg (1,2).3See Test Method D5874. Such impact testers are commer-cially available. Commercially available Clegg Impact Soil Testers displayresults in impact value units, where one impact value equals 10 g-maxunits (Test Method D5874), and typically do not
13、 display tenths of animpact value unit. For use in this standard, the display should be alteredby the manufacturer or authorized personnel to indicate tenths of animpact value or 1 g-max unit. Also, other suitable recording equipmentcan be used to obtain resolution to 1 g-max. A 4.5-kg missile has b

A 0.5-kg poly(vinyl chloride)missile has been utilized to r
17、elate field surfaces to ball bounce (3-6),player response (7), and performance including injury potential (8).5. Significance and Use5.1 The g-max values obtained by these procedures areindicative of the impact attenuation characteristics of playingsurfaces used for sports such as American football,
18、 soccer,baseball, lacrosse, rugby, etc. Optional time history data can beused to further describe these properties.6. Apparatus6.1 MissileConstruct the 2.25 6 0.05-kg missile frommetal with a hardened steel impacting surface that is flat andround with a 5.0 6 0.1-cm diameter and a rounded or beveled
19、edge of 0.5 to 1.0 mm. Include a T-shaped handle or otherappropriate means for lifting the missile prior to dropping. Thehandle and accelerometer (rated at not less than 5000 g)constitute a portion of the missile mass. The missile should bemarked around the circumference to obtain a reference point
20、tothe guide tube top, which will indicate drop height.6.2 Guide TubeConstruct the vented guide tube from pipehaving a smooth inside surface and a nominal inside diameterof 5.4 cm (2.125 in.), such as not to restrict a free fall of themissile. The length of the pipe typically is approximately 61cm (2
21、4 in.). A bulls eye level shall be attached to the guidetube to ensure that the tube is held in a vertical position duringmeasurement. Constructing a circular end flange on the base ofthe tube helps to improve stability during measurement. Thebottom flange shall be milled so that it rests only on it
22、sperimeter and vented either with a hole or holes locatedthrough the flange top surface or by means of a hole or holeson the side of the guide tube just above the flange, or both, toallow for the escape of air under the compression of the fallingmissile.6.3 Recording EquipmentFollow the criteria bel
23、ow whenusing recording equipment:6.3.1 g-maxEnsure that the recording system is capable ofmeasuring impacts of up to a g-max of 1000, as measured byan accelerometer mounted on the missile.6.3.2 Acceleration-TimeThe acceleration-time historymay be recorded optionally using a suitable oscilloscope orc
24、omputer instrumentation.6.3.3 The band width of the acceleration measuring instru-mentation must be sufficiently large to give good resolution ofthe peak acceleration (g-max). Commercially available deviceshave a band width of 7 kHz.7. Test Unit7.1 The test unit will be either:7.1.1 An area of a pla
25、ying surface system that has hadsimilar use and that has similar surface-system characteristics(for example, age, vegetation density, wear, soil moisturecontent) within its limits, or7.1.2 An experimental area (plot) subjected to uniformtreatment(s) that may or may not affect impact characteristics.
26、7.2 A test unit on a playing surface system should notexceed approximately 1 m2.8. Number of Test Units8.1 Similar areas of use, wear, etc., may be used to replicatetest units on playing surfaces.8.2 To characterize adequately the surface variability on anatural surface of a sports field, areas havi
27、ng different levels ofuse, wear, soil compaction, vegetative cover, etc., should beevaluated. If possible, replicate each type of use area.8.3 Use a minimum of three test units (replications) inresearch experiments.8.4 Due to the variable nature of natural surfaces, measureand average at least four
28、locations within a test unit to obtaina test result. To obtain a specific quality assurance level, followthe sampling procedures of Practices E105 and E122.9. Procedure9.1 Operate and calibrate all recording equipment as recom-mended by the manufacturer. Periodically, at least prior to andafter each
29、 series of impact tests, check the instrumentationoutput by dropping the missile on a standard surface, forexample, a stable synthetic material placed on a rigid concreteor metal surface.9.2 Place the guide tube on the playing surface and maintainin a vertical position during the drop.9.3 Lift the m
30、issile to obtain a drop height of 45.7 6 0.3 cm(18.0 6 0.1 in.) and an approximate impact velocity of 2.85m/s (9). A mechanical stop may be attached to the top of theguide tube to aid in achieving the exact drop height.9.4 Release the missile and record the g-max value. Liftingthe missile to an exac
31、t height and then releasing it freely ispossible with trained and experienced operators; however, amechanical holding/releasing mechanism is recommended toinsure proper height and release with less-experienced opera-tors. Such a mechanism should not influence the impactvelocity to a greater extent t
32、han manual operation.9.5 Make one drop on each location and record the g-maxvalue. Soil compaction due to impacting alters natural surfaceconditions. Successive drops, therefore, will not give resultsthat are indicative of the initial impact characteristics of the testunit. Surface deformation due t
33、o successive impacts may beused to give an indication of surface compactibility. Recordg-max for each drop.Ascale, graduated in units of 2.5 mm (0.1in.) may be placed on the missile handle to determine residualsurface penetration. The scale should have at least 20 units, andif deformation (depth of
34、penetration) readings are recordedthey shall be taken before and after each drop.9.6 Record environmental conditions at time of the test,including the soil moisture content.10. Calculation10.1 g-maxDetermine g-max to the nearest whole unit bydirect readout (a truncated value is acceptable with digit
35、alreadout equipment) or from the acceleration-time history.10.2 Additional impact related parameters such as time tog-max, impact duration, and penetration depth may be obtainedby using appropriate recording equipment.11. Report11.1 Include the following information in the report:F1702 10211.1.1 Ide
36、ntification of the surface tested, including locationand type of surface (turfgrass or soil). Vegetation should bedescribed as to the type(s) and density, and depth of thatch, ifpresent, should be indicated. Soil texture should be given.

38、age g-max values from initial impacts on eachsimilar test unit.11.1.7 Average values from initial impacts on similar testunits (replication) for optional results.11.1.8 If successive impacts are used to characterize com-pactibility, record successive impact results. If penetrationdepth measurements
39、are made, record each measurement takenprior to each impact and after the final impact to the nearest 2.5mm (0.10 in.). Report changes in values with successiveimpacts for each test unit.11.1.9 Notate the report to state, “Numerical data with thistest method will not be comparable to data obtained u
40、sing adifferent missile mass, geometry, drop height, or standardmethod, for example, Test Method F1936.”NOTE 2Numerical data collected using this standard method is notdirectly comparable to data obtained using a different missile mass orgeometry, different drop height, or different standard method,
41、 for example,Test Method F1936. Research suggests that impact results greater than100 g, measured using the apparatus described herein, may pose a safetyhazard (10,11). In such instances, corrective management actions may bepracticed to reduce impact results. Furthermore, should results exceed100 g
42、using the apparatus described herein, a more accurate evaluation(Test Method F1936) will be required to more precisely assess potentialsafety hazards.12. Precision and Bias412.1 Interlaboratory Test ProgramDue to the nature ofsoil and turfgrass surfaces tested by this test method, it is eithernot fe
43、asible or too costly at this time to produce multiplespecimens that have uniform mechanical properties. Anyvariation observed in the data is just as likely to result fromspecimen variation as from operator or laboratory testingvariation. In lieu of natural turf surfaces, six synthetic rubber-composi
44、tion flooring specimens, giving a range of g-maxvalues that are representative of values obtained on naturalsurfaces of athletic fields, were selected for testing by sevenlaboratories, using procedures of Practice E691. Six impactingpoints were marked on each specimen, and average g-maxvalues for a
45、specimen were calculated from the six impacts.After a designated waiting period, specimens were retested toobtain a second replication.12.2 Test ResultThe precision information given below inthe units of measurement (g-max) is for two test results, eachof which is the average of six test determinati
46、ons.12.3 PrecisionPrecision statistics are shown in Table 1.The terms x (average), sr(repeatability standard deviation), sR(reproducibility standard deviation), r (95 % repeatabilitylimit, within a laboratory), and R (95 % reproducibility limitbetween laboratories) are used as specified in Practice
47、E177.The temperature of samples influences shock attenuation withlower g-max values occurring as temperature increases. Roomtemperatures among the laboratories ranged from 20 to 23Cand no doubt contributed to the magnitude of the reproducibil-ity limit. Differences in g-max at 20C, however, ranged f
48、rom9 to 14 (avg = 11) and at 21C ranged from 8 to 14 (avg = 11)when all six surfaces are considered. Most of the variabilityamong laboratories, therefore, was due to the operator and testequipment.12.4 BiasThe bias for these measurements is undeter-mined because there is no reference value available
