1、Designation: F1936 10 (Reapproved 2015) An American National StandardStandard Specification forImpact Attenuation of Turf Playing Systems as Measured inthe Field1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1936; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal
2、adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe impact attenuation of turf playing systems can be measured in a
3、laboratory, but such tests areoften conducted under optimal or tightly controlled conditions. To accurately assess the impactattenuation an athlete will encounter on an installed field, that specific field must be tested in situ. Thatobjective was the impetus for the development of this specificatio
4、n. Initially, the stated scope of thespecification was limited to measuring the impact attenuation of North American football fields. Thescope of the current revision encompasses a broader range of sport-specific field configurations anda protocol for conducting tests on multi-sport fields.1. Scope1
5、.1 This specification establishes an in situ test method andmaximum impact attenuation value for all types of turf playingsystems and for a number of sport-specific field layouts. It alsoincludes a protocol for determining test point locations onfields that are lined for multiple sports.1.1.1 Turf p
6、laying systems may be located outdoors orindoors, and typically include field areas within the in-boundslines and areas outside the in-bounds lines extending tosport-specific limit lines; areas where an athlete should expectto encounter impact attenuation performance that complieswith this specifica
7、tion.1.1.2 Site-specific conditions may exist wherein non-turfsurface materials, such as track surfacing and/or covers oversubsurface structures, are found within the boundaries of thelimit lines. These alternate surface materials are not included inthe scope of this specification.1.2 This specifica
8、tion establishes a method for reporting testresults and identifying areas within an existing turf playingsystem where impact attenuation measurements exceed re-quired threshold values.1.3 Nothing in this specification is intended to imposelimitations on what fields can be tested, or how a particular
9、field can be used. Test providers can adapt the procedures andguidelines contained herein to tests performed on any turfplaying system.1.4 This specification does not imply that an impact-relatedinjury cannot be incurred if a turf playing system complies withits g-max performance requirement.1.5 The
10、 values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated
11、with its use. It is theresponsibility 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.

(61 cm), as measured from the bottom of themissile face to the top of the turf playing system, shall be used.At each test
26、point, the impact missile is dropped onto the turfplaying system three times, with an interval of 1.0 6 0.5 min(60 6 30 s) between successive drops. The g-max value foreach drop is recorded and reported. Following the third drop,the average g-max value for the test point is calculated andreported.5.
27、 Significance and Use5.1 Data obtained from the use of this specification areindicative of the impact attenuation performance of individualtest points on an installed turf playing system. The data may beused to make comparisons between values measured in accor-dance with this specification and perfo
28、rmance requirementsherein or elsewhere specified. Data may also be used todetermine the need for maintenance and or replacement of theturf playing system.6. Performance Requirements6.1 When tested in accordance with this specification, theaverage g-max at each test point shall be less than 200 gs.6.
29、2 If a turf playing system is tested in accordance with thisspecification, and the reported average g-max of one or moretest points is equal to or greater than 200 gs, the turf playingsystem should be brought into compliance and should not beused in the interim.6.3 Nothing in this specification is i
30、ntended to keep anowner, architect, engineer or other specifier from establishingmore stringent performance requirements for a turf playingsystem.
