32、st pieces6.1 GeneralThe friction in the pointer mechanism shall be adjustable so that, with the pendulum arm swinging freely from a horizontal position, the outward tip of the pointer can be brought to rest on the forward swing of the arm at a point (10 1) mm below the horizontal. This is the 0 read

34、ts swing with the trailing edge of the slider rubber in contact with the test surface, the plane of the slider is angled at (26 3) to the horizontal. In this configuration the slider can turn about its axis without obstruction to follow the unevenness of the test surface as the pendulum swings.The s
35、lider rubber shall be spring-loaded against the test surface. The nominal static force on the test foot as set by the equipment calibration procedure, defined in Annex A, shall be (22,2 0,5) N in its median position. The change in the static force on the slider shall not be greater than 0,2 N/mm def

It shall have a certificate of conform
37、ity including the name of the manufacturer and date of manufacture.Table 1 Properties of the slider rubberPropertyTemperature0 10 20 30 40Lbke Resilience % 43 to 49 58 to 65 66 to 73 71 to 77 74 to 79Hardness (IRHD) 55 3A slider shall be discarded when either the IRHD value, measured using the porta
38、ble hardness tester in accordance with ISO 7619-2, falls below the minimum tolerance given in Table 1 or not later than one year after manufacture.The edges of the slider rubber shall be square and clean-cut and the rubber free from contamination by, for example, abrasive or oil.Before using a new s
39、lider rubber it shall be conditioned to achieve a minimum width of sliding edge of 1 mm as shown in Figure 3.NOTE This can be achieved by setting up the tester and carrying out sufficient swings, wet or dry, to achieve the minimum width using waterproof abrasive paper 400 grade, or lapping film 3 mi
40、cron aluminium oxide, mounted on a glass plate, as a test specimen.The slider rubber shall be discarded when the width of the sliding edge, as shown in Figure 3, exceeds 3 mm or when it becomes excessively scored or burred. The test foot can be reversed to expose a new sliding edge, which shall be c
41、onditioned.The test foot shall be stored in a dry watertight bag in the dark at a temperature of (15 10) C. The cooler the storage temperature, the longer the properties in Table 1 will be retained. Should the temperature of the rubber fall below 15 C for a period in excess of one day during storage
42、 or during a series of tests, the test foot shall be raised to a temperature of (30 2) C for a period of (18 6) h before use on a subsequent occasion. The test foot shall be at ambient temperature when used.6.3 CalibrationThe apparatus shall be recalibrated at least annually by a competent calibrati

44、 use for testing.6.4 Test specimensThree specimens shall be tested, each fully representative of the sports surface under test, of dimensions not less than 300 mm 300 mm of the same thickness at which the material is normally installed.7 Procedure7.1 Generala) Condition the test specimen and the app
45、aratus for a minimum of 3 h at 23 C 2 C immediately prior to testing and carry out the test at the same temperature.b) Arrange the pendulum tester in position over the test specimen, with the wearing surface uppermost and level the equipment by means of its adjustable feet. Locate the specimen secur
46、ely in such a position that the slider can traverse the surface centrally in accordance with 7.1 d). Where the surface of the specimen has any pronounced directionality, arrange the specimen with its principle direction parallel with the direction of swing of the tester pendulum. Ensure the surface
47、of the specimen and the slider are completely dry.c) Raise the pendulum mechanism until it can swing freely above the surface of the specimen. Lock the pendulum in the horizontal position and rotate the pointer until it comes to rest against the adjustment screw on the pendulum arm. If the pointer i
48、s not horizontal, turn the adjustment screw until it is. Release the pendulum and allow it to swing once to its full extent, catching it before it swings back again, and noting the position on the scale at which the pointer comes to rest. Repeat this three time. If the pointer does not come to rest
49、at the zero line adjust the clutch at the pivot point and repeat the process until a reading of zero is consistently obtained.d) With the pendulum hanging freely, lower the pendulum until it touches the surface of the specimen. Lock the mechanism. Raise the slider by lifting the handle, move the pendulum to the right, lower the slider until it touches the surface of the specimen and note the point of contact. Raise the slider again and move the pendulum to the left and note the point at which the slider just leaves the su
