Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the skidresistance of a pavement or other trafficked surface using thecontinuous reading, fixed-slip technique.1.2 This test method covers braked wheel measurementsobtained with less than 100 % slip. It does not cover side forcemeasure
4、ments.1.3 This test method provides a record of the skid resistancealong the whole length of one track of the test surface andenables averages to be obtained for specified test segments.1.4 This test method is used to measure skid resistance on awide variety of surfaces in a wide variety of circumst
5、ances.Consequently, there are many different designs of continuousreading, fixed-slip measuring equipment (CFME) and as manydifferent test procedures governing their use.1.5 This test method does not attempt to detail thesedifferent equipments and procedures but does set out theessential common prin
6、ciples.1.6 CFMEs function by creating and measuring a frictionalforce between a test tire operating at a selected slip and the testsurface. Different types of CFME do not necessarily create thesame frictional force between their particular test tire and acommon test surface and do not necessarily us
7、e the samemethod to measure this frictional force.1.7 CFME measurements are obtained at a selected steadytest speed. This speed may vary according to the application.1.8 The test surface may be contaminated or clean and dry.If it is clean and dry, a measured amount of water is normallydeposited on t
8、he surface just in front of the test wheel.1.9 The measuring apparatus may be built into a vehicle,built into a trailer that is towed by a vehicle, or built into adevice that is manually pushed.1.10 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Th
9、e values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.11 This standard may involve hazardous materials,operations, and equipment. This standard
