Phase one recordsand reports the static and dynamic condition and accuracy ofthe visiting system in an “As Arrived” condition with nochanges being made. During
16、 phase two, each subsystem isevaluated and if necessary, adjusted to ensure compliance withtolerances outlined in Test Method E670, E1859, E2340 orother appropriate standards. Phase three is the final dynamiccorrelation between the visiting system and the RFMS.4.2 The FTC personnel will calibrate th
17、e calibration plat-form or force plate used by the visiting equipment owner ifprovided.4.3 A detailed report may be generated and presented to theequipment owner describing all static and dynamic test results.5. Significance and Use5.1 Friction characteristics of pavement surfaces are moni-tored by
18、friction measurement systems, and the operatingprocedure for the use of these systems is found in Test MethodE670, E1859, E2340 or other appropriate standards. However,mechanical or electronic system anomalies, over time, couldresult in measurement errors or inaccuracies. This requires thateach of t
19、hese systems be evaluated, calibrated and correlatedon a regular basis.5.2 This guide defines the process of ensuring that CFMEsproduce consistent and accurate data and correlating theCFMEs to national benchmark RFMS.6. Apparatus6.1 Reference Friction Measurement System (RFMS),afixed slip type measu

Pads with similar macrotexture should be avoided.Arecommended range of Mu for thelow friction pad should be: one below 0.30, three mediumfriction pads between 0.30 and .0.50, and the high friction padabove 0.50.The length and width shall be
22、suitable for the entireCFME system at the highest designated test speed.Asuggestedlength and width is 300 ft (100 m) by 9 ft (3 m). The testsurfaces shall be homogeneous, level, and free of contaminantsand traffic. A nonpolishing surface is recommended. Thereshall be adequate space for the CFMEs to

The visiting system andthe RFMS should attempt to measure in the same lateral andlongitudinal location for each pair of tests. The twelve repeatswill be averaged and the me

Physical Measurements8.1 Trailer Units8.1.1 Physical measurements of the visiting system will beconducted and recorded in the “As Arrived” condition, beforeany changes are made. These measur
