31、ndurance test (see 6.7). 6.3.2 Specimen 2 The specimen shall be subjected to the test in the following order: a) test of external design (see 6.8); b) drop test (see 6.9); c) impact test (see 6.10). 6.4 Conditioning and testing temperatures Unless otherwise specified the skateboards shall be conditi
32、oned and tested either at a temperature of (23 2) C and a relative humidity of (50 5) % or at a temperature of (20 2) C and a relative humidity of (65 5) %. BS EN 13613:2009EN 13613:2009 (E) 7 6.5 Wheel adhesion test 6.5.1 Principle The wheel adhesion is tested by pulling a wheel along a steel plate
33、 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= 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 th
34、e 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 perpendicular to the force F to be applied. Apply force without shock to the trucks (see Figure 3) and when the whee
35、ls 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 coefficient of adhesion of the wheels 0from Equation (1): g) + (400mF= (1) where F is the force applied, in newt
36、ons; m is the mass of the skateboard, in kilograms; g is the acceleration due to gravity, i.e. 9,81 m/s2. BS EN 13613:2009EN 13613:2009 (E) 8 6.6 Speed test 6.6.1 Principle A loaded skateboard is driven at speed and the wheel bearings are examined for signs of damage. 6.6.2 Procedure For skateboards
37、 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, place a mass of (40 0,5) kg over the one axle set of wheels under test. Run the skateboard continuously at a spee
38、d 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 in accordance with 6.6 is subjected to a simulation of normal wear and tear using a cylindrical ramp apparatus. The
39、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 with ramps offset one to another and evenly spaced. The distance between these ramps shall be such that the skatebo
40、ard passes over at least one ramp in 1,5 s (see Figure 4). BS EN 13613:2009EN 13613:2009 (E) 9 Linear dimensions in millimetres Key 1 Drum m mass Figure 4 Diagram of endurance test apparatus 6.7.3 Procedure Test the set of wheels of the skateboard referred to in 6.7.1 while the skateboard is allowed
41、 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 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
42、 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 damage, or any fastening devices have worked loose. 6.8 External design 6.8.1 Principle A test cylinder is used to assess p
43、rotruding parts. BS EN 13613:2009EN 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 Key 1 Wheel 2 Test cylinder Figure 5 Example of use of test cylinder 6.8.3 Procedure Using the cylinder (see 6.8.2), test an
44、y projecting parts such as screws and levers that project by more than 10 mm and less than 100 mm2in area. 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
45、 cylindrical mass is dropped freely on to various points on a skateboard, which is then examined for any dam-age to its integrity. 6.9.2 Apparatus The test apparatus shall consist of a) a cylindrical weight, of mass (20 0,5) kg and diameter (100 0,1) mm (see Figure 6); b) a sheet of rubber, fitted t
46、o the weight, of thickness of (17 1) mm and (70 2) Shore A; and c) a guide tube, (see Figure 6). BS EN 13613:2009EN 13613:2009 (E) 11 Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 Guide tube 2 Test weight 3 Rubber sheet Figure 6 Apparatus for drop test 6.9.3 Procedure Drop the cylindrical weight, in free fall, do
47、wn the guide tube on to the centre of the skateboard three times, then three times on to the central area of one axle, and finally three times on to the central area of the other axle. Dur-ing the test, hold the skateboard to prevent it from rolling away. For skateboards Class A, drop the weight thr
48、ough (300 5) mm on to the centre of the board and through (200 5) mm on to the centre of the axles. For skateboards Class B, drop the weight through (200 5) mm on to the centre of the board and through (200 5) mm on to the centre of the axles. Carry out the test after the skateboard has been conditi
49、oned for at least 24 h at conditions specified in 6.4. If plastic material is used for decks or trucks the skateboard has to be conditioned for at least 6 h at a temperature of ( 5 1) C. Start the test within 1 min of removing the skateboard from the conditioning environment and complete it within 5 min. Note whether or not there is any breakage, signs of functional damage or any fastening devices have worked loose. 6.10 Impact test 6.10.1 Principle A skateb
