22、 Tire Tread DurometerTest Method D2240, in addi-tion to the following specific procedures:9.1.8.1 Use a Type A Durometer. A12.7 mm (0.5 in.)diameter presser foot, a sure code XAHAF is recommended.9.1.8.2 The Durometer shall be calibrated at a reading of 60hardness.9.1.8.3 Condition the tire and duro
23、meter to equilibrium at23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) before determining tread hardness.9.1.8.4 Determine the tire tread hardness by averaging atleast one set of six readings. A set should consist of readingstaken at approximately equally spaced intervals around thetread circumference.9.1.8.5 Apply the press
24、er foot to the tire tread as rapidly aspossible without shock, keeping the foot parallel to the treadsurface. Apply just sufficient pressure to obtain firm contactbetween the presser foot and tire tread surface. Read thedurometer scale within 1 s after the presser foot is in contactwith the tread, b
25、ut after initial maximum transient which mayoccur immediately after contact is made.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Precision standards are currently under development.11. Certification11.1 Tires are to be inflated and measured prior to shipment.Upon request, the manufacturer shall furnish the purchaserw
26、ith certification that the test tire meets this specification.11.2 The Annex to this specification suggests a test proce-dure for determining the reliability, performance and consis-tency of the tires.11.3 All tires under certification shall be subject to themanufacturers normal variation.12. Packag
27、ing and Preservation12.1 Tires should be stored in a dry area, at a temperaturenot exceeding 32.2C (90F) and in subdued light. Tires mustnot be stored near electric motors, welders, or other ozonegenerating equipment.13. Recommendations for Tire Use and OperationalRequirements13.1 The tire was desig
28、ned for measuring tire-pavementfriction forces only and was not designed for any other use orservice.13.2 Anew tire break-in sufficient to only remove the glossytread surface is recommended before using the tire for testing.This break-in time will vary with pavement surface condition,speed, and test
29、 tire operating mode, but is normally 511 km(37 miles).13.3 The inflation pressure used in the test tire shall be 1386 3 kPa (20 6 0.5 PSI) measured at ambient temperature(cold). The maximum permitted inflation is 275 kPa (40 PSI).13.4 The recommended static test load on the test tire shallbe 21 kg
30、(46 lbs).13.5 When any irregular wear or damage results from thetesting or when the wear indicators are no longer visible, theuse of the tire as a standard friction test tire shall bediscontinued.NOTE 2Caution: The measured friction number may be influenced bytire age or tread hardness, or both. The
31、 magnitude of this dependence hasnot been exactly determined, but aging which has increased tread hardnessto 65 will influence the resultant friction forces on some types ofpavements.14. Keywords14.1 friction test tire; size 10 6, 45ANNEX(Mandatory Information)A1. SUGGESTED PROCEDURE FOR TESTING AND
32、 DOCUMENTING MEASURING TIRESA1.1 IntroductionA1.1.1 The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that allmeasuring tires give friction readings which match the “stan-dard.” This standard is defined in terms of a referencemeasuring tire or calibration tire.A1.1.2 For continuity, there shall be three ca
33、libration tires:two in active use and one master calibration tire held in reservefor calibration tire testing. These tires are selected from thosethat have passed the standard procedure for testing withparticularly stringent conditions (see paragraph A1.4 below).A1.1.3 The three current calibration
34、tires must undergo themonthly cross-check set out in section A1.5 below.A1.1.4 All tires must be manufactured from the rubbercompound defined in Specifications E1551, E501, and E524.E1844 08 (2015)3A1.2 Incoming Goods InspectionA1.2.1 On receipt of a batch of tires from the manufacturer,every tire m
35、ust be visually examined for a batch number,rubber formulation stamp, and physical imperfections. Tiresfailing visual inspection must be returned to the manufacturer.A1.2.2 Tires which have passed visual inspection must bemarked in bright metallic paint with an individual serialnumber showing the ty
36、pe of tire, batch number, and tirenumber. For example, A-08-21. These numbers must beentered in the tire log book which will subsequently show thedate of test, whether it passed or failed, and (when appropriate)to where it was dispatched.A1.3 Running in of New TiresA1.3.1 The tires, together with th
37、eir inner tubes, must bemounted on rims and inflated to 138 6 3 kPa (20 6 1 psi) andthen run-in on a friction tester. The mileage required dependson the temperature and moisture on the road surface at the timeand varies from 5 to 11 km (3 to 7 miles), at 50 to 65 kmH(3040 mph). The tire must be cons
38、idered “run-in” when thecentral molding flash is no longer visible.A1.4 Test ProcedureA1.4.1 The mounted and run-in tires must be road-tested foraccuracy of their friction readings, according to the followingprocedure:A1.4.1.1 Test ConditionsThe test must be made accordingto the following rules:A1.4
39、.1.1.1 Tires must be tested within nine months ofmanufacture and hardness recorded.A1.4.1.1.2 All tires must be inflated to 138 6 3 kPa (20 61 psi).A1.4.1.1.3 All tires must travel at least 1 km (0.6 mile)before entering the test section, and for the last 200 metres (220yds), the surface must be wet
40、ted so that the surface is coveredwith at least 0.5 mm (.02 in.) of water.A1.4.1.1.4 A properly calibrated friction tester must beused. Comparisons must only be made between runs carriedout using the same friction tester.A1.4.1.1.5 Comparisons must only be made between runscarried out on the same da
41、y and under the same conditions ofroad state, moisture and temperature. If the ambient tempera-ture changes more than 5C (9F) or if precipitation conditionschange, the procedure must be restarted.A1.4.1.1.6 Test runs must be made ona1km(0.6 mile)length of straight road, surfaced with hot-rolled-asph
42、alt. Eachone third of each side of this test length must be regarded as aseparate test section.A1.4.2 Calculation of Calibration Friction NumbersA1.4.2.1 Because testing is carried out on surfaces whosefriction characteristics are not constant, the first stage of thetesting procedure must always be
43、to obtain a current set offriction numbers for the six test sections used.A1.4.2.2 With a calibration tire mounted, a run covering allsix test sections (that is, an outward and return run) must bemade and the average friction number for each section calcu-lated. This double run must be repeated, and
44、 the averagefriction number for each section calculated again.A1.4.2.3 By this means, two average friction numbers willhave been obtained for each of the six sections. These twoaverage friction numbers should differ by no more than 0.03.A1.4.2.4 If this condition is met, a calibration frictionnumber
45、 for each section must be formed by averaging the twoaverages for that section.A1.4.2.5 If this condition is not met, the double run mustagain be carried out until two double runs are obtained whichdo satisfy the condition.A1.4.3 Acceptance Criteria for Production TiresA1.4.3.1 With the new tire mou
46、nted, a run covering three ofthe test sections must be made and the average friction numberfor each section calculated. If the friction number for each ofthe three sections is within 0.02 of the calibration average, thetire is passed.A1.4.3.2 If at least one of the average friction numbers isnot wit
47、hin 0.02 of the calibration average but each of theaverage friction numbers is within 0.03 of the calibrationaverage, then a return run must be made; if the friction numberfor each section is again within 0.03 of the calibration average,the tire is passed.A1.4.3.3 If the reading for one section has
48、to be discarded(because of obstruction or contamination) a return run is made;five readings which are within 0.03 of the calibration averageallow the tire to be passed.A1.4.4 Acceptance criteria for calibration tires:A1.4.4.1 The calculation of the six calibration frictionnumbers described in A1.4.2
49、 must be carried out using themaster calibration tire.A1.4.4.2 With the new tire mounted, a run covering three ofthe test sections must be made and the average friction numberfor each section calculated. If the friction number for each ofthe three sections is within 0.01 of the calibration average, thetire is passed.A1.4.4.3 If the friction number for each of the three sectionsis only within 0.02 of the calibration average, a return run ismade; if the friction number for each section is again within0.02 of the calibration average, t
