38、 7 6.5 Wheel adhesion test 6.5.1 Principle The wheel adhesion is tested by pulling a wheel along a steel plate with a fine brushed and degreased surface of arithmetical mean roughness Raof 1,5 m to 2,0 m. 6.5.2 Apparatus Steel plate, with a parallel lay and surface texture between Ra= 1,5 m and Ra=
39、2,0 m and two weights, each of (20 0,5) kg mass. 6.5.3 Procedure Degrease the tyre surface of the wheels of the skateboard and the steel plate. Measure the mass of the skate-board. Load the skateboard with a mass of (20 0,5) kg over each axle and place it on the steel plate so that the lay is perpen
40、dicular to the force F to be applied. Apply force without shock to the trucks (see Figure 3) and when the wheels are at the point of slipping, measure the applied force F. Key 1 Steel plate 2 Point of application of force Figure 3 Adhesion test apparatus 6.5.4 Calculation of results Calculate the co
41、efficient of adhesion of the wheels 0from Equation (1): g) + (400mF= (1) where F is the force applied, in newtons; m is the mass of the skateboard, in kilograms; g is the acceleration due to gravity, i.e. 9,81 m/s2. DIN EN 13613:2009-08 EN 13613:2009 (E) 8 6.6 Speed test 6.6.1 Principle A loaded ska
42、teboard is driven at speed and the wheel bearings are examined for signs of damage. 6.6.2 Procedure For skateboards Class A, place a mass of (50 0,5) kg over the one axle set of wheels under test. Run the skateboard continuously at a speed of (20 0,5) km/h for at least 6 min. For skateboards Class B
43、, place a mass of (40 0,5) kg over the one axle set of wheels under test. Run the skateboard continuously at a speed of (20 0,5) km/h for at least 3 min. Note whether or not the wheel bearings seize up or disintegrate. 6.7 Endurance test 6.7.1 Principle One set of wheels of a skateboard not tested i
44、n accordance with 6.6 is subjected to a simulation of normal wear and tear using a cylindrical ramp apparatus. The skateboard is then examined for any damage to its function-ability. 6.7.2 Apparatus The test is carried out on a drum rotating at a circumferential speed of 0,5 m/s. The drum is fitted
45、with ramps offset one to another and evenly spaced. The distance between these ramps shall be such that the skateboard passes over at least one ramp in 1,5 s (see Figure 4).

46、 apparatus 6.7.3 Procedure Test the set of wheels of the skateboard referred to in 6.7.1 while the skateboard is allowed only to move verti-cally on the tested end and is fixed horizontally and vertically on the other end of the skateboard (see Figure 4). Place a mass m = (40 0,5) kg for skateboards
47、 of Class A and m = (25 0,5) kg for Class B over a length of 75 mm centrally over the deck axle. For skateboards Class A and B set the cylinder in motion and run it until the distance covered by the wheels un-der test is (25 0,5) km. Note whether or not there is any breakage, signs of functional dam
48、age, or any fastening devices have worked loose. 6.8 External design 6.8.1 Principle A test cylinder is used to assess protruding parts. DIN EN 13613:2009-08 EN 13613:2009 (E) 10 6.8.2 Apparatus Test cylinder of diameter (50 0,1) mm and minimum length 150 mm (see Figure 5). Dimensions in millimetres

Present the cylinder at any angle to the part under test. Note whether or not the part under test touches the outer surface, excluding the ends, of the cylinder. 6.9 Drop test 6.9.1 Principle A cylindrical mass is dropped fr
