15、.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5. Significance and Use5.1 Occasions exist where static charges on the vehicle mustbe dissipated by way of the tires. Electrical resistance inverselymeasures the tires ability to dissi

16、pate static charge from thevehicle.6. Apparatus6.1 Resistance Measuring Instrument (ohmmeter)Resistance shall be measured by a commercial instrumentcapable of measuring electrical resistance in ohms and havinga power source capable of 1000 V. The voltage shall becontrolled as described in Table 1 an

17、d shall not dissipate morethan 3 W in the test sample. The instrument shall be capable ofdetermining the resistance up to a value of 1012V with anaccuracy of 62 %. The input impedance shall be at least 1016V.6.2 Metal Loading PlateA flat plate of dimensions suffi-cient to encompass the entire contac

18、t surface of the tire undertest and with sufficient thickness to support the test loadsdescribed in Section 8 without visible deformation. This plateshall be made of a conductive noncorrosive metal, for example,brass or stainless steel, free from any coating or obvioussurface contamination, such as

19、oxidation or corrosion. Alumi-num shall not be used for the plate because of its highsusceptibility to the rapid development of surface oxides,which may adversely affect reading accuracy.6.3 Loading ApparatusA loading fixture (Fig. 1) capableof applying the tire load, in a radial direction, against

20、the metalloading plate. Test load measurement accuracy shall be 61%.6.4 Insulating MaterialAsheet of insulating material suchas polyethylene, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), or equivalent,with sufficient strength to support the test loads described inSection 8 without visible deformation. The insula

21、ting materialshould have dimensions of at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) greater, onall sides, than the metal loading plate.6.4.1 With insulating sheet installed between the metalloading plate and the loading apparatus base (Fig. 1), theelectrical resistance between the metal loading plate and theloading app

22、aratus should be at least 1014V. In practice, theelectrical resistance of the plate relative to the loading appa-ratus must be at least two orders of magnitude higher than thetire being measured.6.5 Pressure GageA commercially available gage with anaccuracy of 63 kPa (60.5 psi).7. Conditioning7.1 Fo

23、r at least 8 h prior to measurement of passenger, lighttruck, and motorcycle tire applications (24 h for all other tires),the tire to be tested shall be kept at an ambient temperature of23 6 5C 73 6 9F, and at a relative humidity less than60 %.8. Measurement Conditions8.1 The test load applied durin

24、g the measurement is 80 65 % of the maximum load capacity of the tire as listed in theapplicable TRA, ETRTO, or JATMA standards.8.2 The inflation pressure is equal to 80 6 5 % of thepressure corresponding to the maximum load of the tire.8.3 If the tire size is not listed in the applicable TRA,ETRTO,

25、 or JATMA standards, the above percentages apply tothe loads and inflations as marked on the sidewall of the tire.8.4 Ambient temperature during the measurement shall bemaintained at 23 6 5C (73 6 9F).8.5 Relative humidity during the measurement shall bemaintained at #60 %.9. Procedure9.1 Preparatio

26、n of the Tire-Wheel Assembly:9.1.1 The approved wheel (see Note 2) (steel preferred)must be stripped clean in the bead seat area, as well as at theconnection point. As an alternative, if the electrical resistanceof the wheel is known to be two orders of magnitude lowerthan the tire to be measured, s

27、tripping is not necessary.NOTE 2A wheel whose rim meets the specifications of the Tire andRim Association (TRA) Yearbook or applicable document.9.1.2 It is necessary to make sure that the tire is dry beforetaking the measurement. Dry mount the tire if possible. Toavoid damage to tires in the case of

28、 difficult mountingconditions, a water-soluble mounting solution can be used.Anymounting solution on the sidewall or tread of the tire must becleaned and dried.9.1.3 Mark a reference point on one tire sidewall with anonconductive material. The reference point could be at aspecific tire marking such

29、as the United States Department ofTransportation “DOT” mark, the Economic Commission forEurope (ECE) “E” mark, or other selected tire marking.9.2 Setup:9.2.1 Set up the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1.9.2.2 Clean the metal loading plate with isopropyl alcoholor a similar agent and allow to dry.9.2.3 In

30、stall the tire-wheel assembly on the loading fixtureand clean the exterior of the tire with isopropyl alcohol or asimilar agent and allow to dry. Conductive or nonconductivesubstances on the tire such as mold release agents, or paints, orboth, which could affect the results, must be removed. The use

31、of organic solvents likely to attack the rubber is prohibited.9.2.4 Connect the ohmmeter leads to the metal loading plate(positive polarity) and to the wheel (negative polarity). Theplate electrode and wheel electrode for connection to the meterare shown in Fig. 2. This schematic represents the effe

32、ctivecircuit for testing. Alternatively, a connection can be made onthe loading fixture if the resistance between this point and thebead seat of the wheel is no more than 10 V.9.3 Preload Cycle:9.3.1 Load the tire-wheel assembly at the reference point tothe value specified in Section 8, hold for 1 m

33、in, and thenremove the load.9.3.2 Repeat the load-unload cycle a second time, as statedin 9.3.1. (This second preload may be omitted provided thetester can demonstrate sufficiency of a single preload based onTABLE 1 Test VoltageTire Resistance Range (V) Test Voltage (V)103to 1041104to 10510105to 106

34、100106to 10121000F1971 122measurement capabilities and supporting data.) The secondload-unload cycle provides harmonization with other stan-dards.9.4 Measurement:9.4.1 If the range of the resistance is unknown, initiallyapply 1000 V and decrease the voltage according to Table 1 asnecessary. Load the

35、 tire to the test load and immediately applythe test voltage in accordance with Table 1 (see 9.3.2 regardingsufficiency for testing following one load-unload cycle).9.4.2 Record the resistance measurement 3 min 6 10 s afterthe voltage has been applied. The voltage and load are to beapplied continuou

36、sly to the tire until after the final measure-ment is recorded.9.4.3 Unload the tire.9.4.4 Repeat the preload cycle and measurement in accor-dance with 9.3 and 9.4 for at least two additional circumfer-ential locations evenly spaced around the tire.10. Interpretation of Results10.1 The resultant ele
