20、 load 4 Principle A weight is allowed to fall onto a spring placed on the test piece; the maximum deformation applied is recorded. EN 14809:2005 (E) 5 5 Test piece For area-elastic and combined-elastic sports surfaces, the test piece shall be a sample of the complete surfacing system measuring 3,5 m
21、 by 3,5 m, assembled and installed in accordance with the manufacturers stated method, on a substrate complying with the manufacturers requirements. For point-elastic and mixed-elastic sports surfaces, the test piece shall be a piece of the surface of minimum size 1,0 m by 1,0 m, in combination with
22、 the supporting layers to be used in service and using the recommended method of attachment in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Laboratory test pieces of either synthetic turf or textile materials shall be prepared in accordance with EN 12229. 6 Conditioning and test temperature For t
23、ests in the laboratory, condition the test piece for a minimum of 40 h at a temperature of (23 2) C. Tests on site shall be carried out at the prevailing ambient temperature and humidity, which shall be recorded and reported. 7 Apparatus 7.1.1 The principle of the apparatus is shown in Figure 1 and
24、consists of the components specified in 7.1.2 to 7.1.11. 7.1.2 Falling weight having a mass of (20 0,1) kg with a hardened striking surface guided so that it is allowed to fall smoothly and vertically with minimum friction. 7.1.3 Spiral spring, having a diameter of (69 1) mm, whose characteristic, w
25、hen mounted in the assembly described, is linear with a spring rate of (40 1,5) N/mm over the range 0,1 kN to 1,6 kN with a hardened upper plate. 7.1.4 Adjustable supporting feet, at least 250 mm from the point of application of the load for a point elastic sports surface and at least 600 mm from th
26、e point of application of the load for an area elastic sports surface. 7.1.5 Steel base plate, having a flat lower side, an edge radius of 1 mm, a diameter of (70,0 0,1) mm and a minimum thickness of 10 mm. 7.1.6 Metal guiding tube having an internal diameter of (71,0 0,1) mm. 7.1.7 Two horizontal p
27、rojections on the testing foot for the sensors. 7.1.8 Testing foot, consisting of the steel base plate, force sensing device, spring and the upper plate (minimum thickness 20 mm, measured at the centre of the plate) together, guided in the guiding tube. The total mass of the testing foot (without gu
28、iding tube) shall be (3,5 0,35) kg. 7.1.9 Two sensors, e.g. electronic pick-ups with a measuring range of 10 mm and an uncertainty no greater than 0,05 mm. The distance between the sensors and the axis of the apparatus shall be 125 mm. The sensors shall be symmetrically positioned around the central
29、 axis of the apparatus. 7.1.10 Means of supporting the weight, allowing it to be set to the drop height with an uncertainty no greater than 0,25 mm. 7.1.11 Means of conditioning and recording the signal from the force sensing device and the sensors and a means of displaying the record. The channel f
30、requency class of the conditioning amplifier, in accordance with ISO 6487, shall be 1 kHz. EN 14809:2005 (E) 6 The conditioning amplifier shall be followed by or shall incorporate a low-pass filter having a 2ndorder Butterworth characteristic with a -3 dB frequency of 120 Hz. Filtration may be imple
31、mented in hardware or software. The response of the system at any given frequency shall be within 0,5 dB of the expected response, calculated on the basis of the Butterworth function. The system should be able to record the peak value of single force pulse signals of 10 ms duration with an uncertain
32、ty of no greater than 2 %. If digital recording techniques are used, the word length shall be 12 bits, the amplitude of the signal shall be no less than 25 % of the equipment full scale and the sampling frequency shall be 2 kHz or twice the upper frequency response limit of the amplifier/filter syst
33、em preceding the digital system, whichever is the greater. 8 Procedure 8.1 Set up the apparatus so that it is vertically positioned on the test piece such that the weight falls at least 20 cm from the edge, for point-elastic and mixed-elastic sports surfaces, or at least 1 m from the edge, for area-
34、elastic and combination-elastic sports surfaces. 8.2 Adjust both sensors (e.g. deformation pick-ups) on the connecting line of the sensors through the falling weight axis with the same distance to the falling weight axis on a separate stand (total distance between the sensors 125 mm). Depending on t
35、he type of sports floor, the minimum distance between the supporting feet on the stand and the falling weight axis shall be given in the appropriate specifications. 8.3 Before carrying out measurements, the deformation pick-ups shall contact the horizontal projections on the test foot. Activate the
36、recording device before releasing the falling weight. 8.4 Set the height of the lower face of the falling weight so that it is (120 0,25) mm above the testing foot. The testing foot gives a pre-loading of the surface and a corresponding deformation of the surface. This is the zero position. Allow th
37、e weight to fall onto the testing foot once only. 8.5 Record the force applied to the surface and the resulting deformation in the course of the impact. Within 5 s of the impact, lift and re-attach the falling weight to its support mechanism so that the surface can recover before the following impac
38、t. 8.6 Unless otherwise specified, repeat the procedure described in 8.4 twice at intervals of 1 min giving a total of three impacts. Record the mean value of the deformation from the second and third impacts. If further tests are to be carried out on the same sample, each test shall be carried out
39、at a new location, no test position being less than 100 mm from any other.
