1、Designation: E274/E274M 11Standard Test Method forSkid Resistance of Paved Surfaces Using a Full-Scale Tire1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E274/E274M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of skid resis-tance of paved surfaces with a specified full-scale automotivet
3、ire.1.2 This test method utilizes a measurement representingthe steady-state friction force on a locked test wheel as it isdragged over a wetted pavement surface under constant loadand at a constant speed while its major plane is parallel to itsdirection of motion and perpendicular to the pavement.1
4、.3 The values measured represent the frictional propertiesobtained with the equipment and procedures stated herein anddo not necessarily agree or correlate directly with thoseobtained by other pavement friction measuring methods. Thevalues are intended for use in evaluating the skid resistance ofa p
5、avement relative to that of other pavements or for evaluatingchanges in the skid resistance of a pavement with the passageof time. The values are insufficient to determine the distancerequired to stop a vehicle on either a wet or a dry pavement.They are also insufficient for determining the speed at
6、 whichcontrol of a vehicle would be lost, because peak and side forcefriction are also required for these determinations.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eac
7、hsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish app
