16、e course of the operations described in this Technical Specification can generate particles that could be injurious to health. It is essential to ensure that appropriate precautions are taken, e.g. the use of dust masks and/or dust extracting facilities. It is also essential to ensure that the equip
17、ment is electrically safe in wet test conditions. PD CEN/TS 12633:2014CEN/TS 12633:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification describes a laboratory method for polishing paving units using a flat-bed polishing machine prior to the measurement of slip and skid resistance to evaluate the durabili
18、ty of this characteristic. This Technical Specification may not be applicable to profiled paving units: for these types of units the method of polishing does not reflect the polishing in practice. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this

22、see Figure 1) comprising the following: PD CEN/TS 12633:2014CEN/TS 12633:2014 (E) 6 Key 1 sample holder 5 emery hoppers with adjustable conveyors 2 sample 6 lap wheel 3 adjustable mass 7 rubber annulus 4 water supply Figure 1 Flat-bed polishing machine a) a machined, flat circular cast iron or steel
23、 grinding lap not less than (600 3) mm in diameter, which can be rotated in a horizontal plane at a speed of (29 1) r/min; b) a flat smooth-surfaced natural rubber annulus of (600 3) mm external diameter, approximately (320 3) mm internal diameter and a thickness of (9 1) mm fixed to the upper surfa
24、ce. The rubber annulus shall have a hardness from 60 to 75 IRHD in accordance with ISO 48. It shall be covered by a certificate of conformity from the manufacturer which includes the date of manufacture. It should be stored in the dark at a temperature in the range 5 C to 25 C and should be conditio
25、ned by bringing to a temperature of (20 5) C throughout it mass before fixing to the grinding plate. The annulus can be used as long as the hardness remains in the specification. If glue is used to attach the annulus to the grinding plate, care should be taken to ensure it does not affect the hardne
26、ss of the rubber. c) two adjustable metal holders capable of loosely holding in place specimens conforming to Clause 6; d) means of locating, two specimens within the two holders according to the following configuration: with the centre points of their outer edges (270 1) mm from the centre of the l
27、ap; positioned diametrically opposite to each other; with their long sides lying in the direction of rotation of the lap. The specimens shall be free to move in a vertical plane but be restrained from moving in the horizontal plane. PD CEN/TS 12633:2014CEN/TS 12633:2014 (E) 7 e) means to ensure that
28、 the required load can be applied evenly at the centre of each test specimen and which can move in a vertical direction; f) weights which permit uniform loading of the test specimen against the surface of the rubber annulus and which, including test specimen, tray (if used) and adjustable weight, wi
29、ll provide a contact stress of (2 250 50) N/m over the area of the final prepared contact surface; NOTE This stress corresponds to a total mass of 2,924 kg for an area of 150 mm 85 mm. g) separate mechanisms to feed corn emery and emery flour and a means to feed water.

The polishing media shall be used once only. 4.5 Reference material The reference material is a control stone specimen prepared as described in Annex A. The control stone specimens may be replaced
32、 for internal control by secondary control specimens defined by the laboratory. PD CEN/TS 12633:2014CEN/TS 12633:2014 (E) 8 5 Sampling of test specimens Selected specimens shall be representative of the batch in terms of texture and surface finish and show no undue cracks or other blemishes. Obtain
33、a representative sample of five specimens. Measure the flatness of all specimens according to EN 772-20. If these specimen are flat with an allowable flatness deviation of 0,5 mm, they can be used without grinding. If not, select additional specimen from a further 5 specimens which are within the fl
34、atness criteria. If 5 flat specimens with an allowable flatness deviation of 0,5 mm, cannot be found from 10 specimens, grind the surface of 5 specimens in accordance with EN 772-1, the minimum necessary to fulfil the allowable flatness deviation of 0,5 mm. 6 Preparation of test specimen Carry out p
35、reparation of the test specimen according to the following: a) before polishing, the contact surface of the specimens shall be (150 5) mm from 80 and 90 mm wide i.e. the chamfer is extra. Where the surface to be tested is smaller than 150 mm 85 mm, it is necessary to form a new area by bonding two o
36、r more units together. This can be realised by taking two units and, when necessary, grinding flat one side of each, specifically the side which is perpendicular to the visible side. These two units are then placed on a flat surface with the visible side facing downwards. The two sides which have be
37、en ground flat are then glued to each other using a construction adhesive in such a fashion that the glued joint has a minimal thickness. b) The thickness shall be between 30 mm and 85 mm. NOTE If necessary thinner specimen can be fixed on an adequate support c) each specimen shall have a chamfer mi
38、nimum 3 mm at an angle of approximately 45 along each upper surface edges (see Figure 3), to enable the emery polishing agents to access the contact area between the specimens and the rubber annulus more readily. The chamfer may comprise the natural chamfer of the unit or may be specifically ground.

40、contact surface. NOTE 1 The contact area excludes prepared chamfers on the specimens themselves. NOTE 2 The mass of the specimen is considered to be part of the calculated load. Carry out accelerated polishing using the flat-bed polishing machine (4.3) at (20 5) C according to the following procedur
41、e: a) place the test surfaces of two specimens face down in the metal holders (4.3c) on the rubber annulus (4.3b) at positions diametrically opposite each other. Apply the appropriate loads. Set the machine in motion at a rate of (29 1) r/min; b) feed corn emery of the specified grading (Table 1) on
42、to the surface of the rubber annulus at a rate of (20 2) g/min, spread evenly over the surface immediately in front of each of the test specimens, for (700 10) revolutions. Simultaneously feed water onto the surface just in front of the centre of the test specimens at a rate just sufficient to carry
43、 the corn emery under the test specimen without being washed away; NOTE 3 A water-feed rate of 6 ml/min has been found satisfactory. c) within 30 min of completing 700 revolutions, remove the specimen from the machine and remove all traces of corn emery under running water using a stiff bristle brus
44、h. Remove any corn emery from the surface of the rubber and place the mechanism to feed emery flour of the specified grading (4.4) as the polishing agent onto the machine; d) Place the specimens in the holders in order to be polished in the opposite direction; e) apply the flour at a rate of (2 0,2)
45、 g/min spread evenly over the surface in front of each of the test specimen with water applied simultaneously just in front of the centre of the test specimen at a rate sufficient to maintain a wet paste under the specimens. Polish the units for a further (700 10) revolutions; NOTE 4 A water-feed ra
46、te in the range (1,0 to 3,0) ml/min has been found satisfactory to maintain a creamy paste. NOTE 5 In order to assure a regular rate, the flour emery can be dried for a minimum of 30 min at a temperature between 60 C and 110C. f) wash the polished specimens Verification of the polishing shall be bas
47、ed on monthly control of a reference material. If the period between two tests is greater than one month, control shall be carried out as part of the test. Secondary control specimens defined by the laboratory may be used as an alternative to reference material (4.5). 8 Validation of polishing proce
48、dure Carry out the test using the reference material (see 4.5) when replacing the rubber annulus or for any new batch of emery corn or flour and at a frequency of one specimen at least once per year. If the pendulum value of the reference material varies outside the specified range, the test is inva
49、lid and the flat-bed polishing equipment and procedure shall be checked and, after any necessary adjustment, the test repeated. During the transient period of application of this Technical Specification, acceptable specified range should be investigated.
