16、endations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.15. Significance and Use5.1 The significance of this test is to determine the thermo-plastic pavement marking materials resistance to impact overa simulated pavement substrate, under laboratory conditions,an

17、d is expressed as pass/fail or numerically. The test result canbe used as a quality test or to differentiate marking materials.5.2 Anyone attempting to perform this test should initiallyreview Test Methods D5420 and D2794, specifically theequipment setup.5.3 Sample preparation and equipment set-up s

18、hould befollowed precisely to minimize variability in the test result.6. Interferences6.1 Falling-weight-impact test results are dependent on thegeometry of the falling weight, striker, and the support. Thus,use impact tests only to obtain relative rankings of materials.Impact values cannot be consi

19、dered absolute unless the geom-etry of the test equipment and specimen conform to the end-userequirement. Data obtained with different geometries, cannot,in general, be compared directly with each other6.2 Since this method is based on the impact of a materialon a non-deformable substrate, the failu

20、re mode can come inmany different forms. This method may not cover the type ofdeformation seen on some type of products. In this instance, adetermination of whether an impact causes a passing or afailing deformation will then need to be determined by thebuyer and the seller.6.3 Impact properties of

21、thermoplastic pavement markingmaterials can be very sensitive to temperature. This test can becarried out at any reasonable temperature and humidity, thusrepresenting actual-use environments. However, this testmethod as written is intended primarily for rating materialsunder specific impact conditio

22、ns and at 75 6 2F (24 6 1C).6.4 It is possible that the apparatus used in this test methodwill not have sufficient energy available to cause failure ofsome specimens under the conditions of this procedure.7. Apparatus7.1 The basics of the apparatus are shown in Fig. 1 minusthe specimen support plate

23、 and support anvil. More detailedinformation can be found in the Apparatus section of TestMethods D5420 and D2794.7.1.1 The difference being that the test sample on the roadsubstrate is placed under the striker, and on the base of theapparatus instead of on the specimen support anvil as shown inFig.

24、 2.7.2 Although there are many sizes and shapes of strikers forthis method, we are recommending that only a 0.625 6 0.004in. (15.86 6 0.10 mm) striker be used.7.3 Although many weight loads can be used,a2lb(0.9 kg)weight is the most common and will be the only type addressedwithin this method.8. Rea

25、gents and Materials8.1 Four (4) in. Wide Drawdown Bar, capable of drawingdown a 0.125 in. thick film of thermoplastic pavement mark-ing. Other width drawdown bars and drawdown gaps can beused but this is the most common for the thermoplasticpavement marking industry (Fig. 3).8.2 Concrete Brick, with

26、 a minimum of 3000 psi compres-sion strength or substrate of choice.8.3 Asphalt Samples, cored from a road surface or made toa specific formulation and compressed in a Marshall testingdevice, then sawed in half. The top half of these types ofFIG. 1 Impact TesterFIG. 2 Specimen Support AnvilD8161 172

27、samples can be used to simulate fresh asphalt and the cut sideworn or aged asphalt surfaces (Fig. 4).8.4 Any other type of road surface or road surface coveredwith an overlay or road marking can be used.9. Hazards9.1 Impact testing of any type can cause flying debris, sosafety glasses, at a minimum,

28、 should be worn at all times.Hands are best kept away from the falling weight and impactzone. The testing device and substrate should be on a stablelevel surface at all times.10. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units10.1 Sampling thermoplastic road marking material shouldbe performed by following

29、 Practice D7307.10.2 The initial melting of the thermoplastic pavementmarking materials should be performed in accordance withPractice D7308.10.3 Once the thermoplastic pavement marking material hasreached the appropriate processing temperature, then it can bedrawn over the substrate using a warmed

30、drawdown bar (Fig.5).11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 In order to minimize the energy absorption, compres-sion and deflection of the support, affix the tester to a dense,solid block. Place this block or base at a height suitable for easeof operation. It is not necessary to bolt blocks or bases over4

31、00 lb to the floor. Alternatively, affix testers directly to thefloor. (WarningUse of rubber mats either directly under thetester or supporting apparatus is prohibited.)11.2 Bolt supporting bases, or tables, lighter than 400 lb to aconcrete floor. For each different material tested, make com-parison

32、s between mean failure energy data generated using thissupport, and one where the tester is fixed directly to theconcrete floor. If mean failure energy differences between twotypes of supports are found to be statistically non-significant,use of the lighter support shall be allowed.12. Calibration a

33、nd Standardization12.1 The striker diameter and striking end should bechecked periodically to make sure that they have not changedor been damaged from impacts.12.2 The loads weight and strike diameter should bechecked to verify that it is within tolerances.13. Conditioning13.1 Any thermoplastic pave

34、ment marking material appliedto a substrate, substrate and impact device should be allowed tocome to 75 6 2F (24 6 1C) and 30 to 50 % RH beforetesting.13.1.1 If a different temperature/humidity is required fortesting, then that temperature/humidity should be stable for thetest material, the substrat

35、e and the impact device before testing.13.1.2 Some manufacturers may require that the test mate-rial not be tested for 24 h or longer after sample prep.14. Procedure14.1 Method A Pass/Fail Testing(where the load israised to the same height for each impact).14.1.1 Install the striker having the head

Stabilize andlevel the thermoplastic pavement marking materials coatedsubstrate directly under the striker. The highway substrateFIG. 3 Drawdown BarFI

37、G. 4 Asphalt SamplesFIG. 5 Warmed Drawdown BarD8161 173should be flat against the base support and the striker in contactwith the top surface of the thermoplastic pavement markingmaterial.14.2.1 Lightly place the weight on the striker and adjust theguide tube so that the lifting pin is at the zero m

39、ndobserve the impact area for cracks.14.2.6 Repeat the procedure at least five times on fiveseparate test samples at the same height, drop weight andstriker.14.2.6.1 Impacts are not to land within 1.5 in. of the edge ofthe drawdown.14.3 Method B Failure Height Impact(the height atwhich the agreed up

40、on type failure occurs).14.3.1 Install the striker having the head diameter specifiedor agreed upon.14.3.2 Place the test sample in the apparatus with thethermoplastic pavement marking coated side facing up. Thehighway substrate should be flat against the base support andthe striker in contact with

41、the top surface of the thermoplasticpavement marking material.14.3.3 Lightly place the weight on the striker and adjust theguide tube so that the lifting pin is at the zero mark.14.3.4 Raise the weight up the tube to a height where it isexpected that no failure will occur. Release the weight so that

42、it drops on the striker.14.3.5 Remove the test substrate from the apparatus andobserve the impact area for cracks. If no cracks are evident,repeat the procedure at a greater height, increasing 1 in. (25mm) at a time.14.3.6 Once visible cracks are observed, repeat the test twotimes at each of three h

43、eights; slightly above, slightly belowand at that determined in the first trial.14.3.7 Record the drop height and load.14.3.8 Examine the impacted areas for cracking by one ofthe following methods:14.3.8.1 Evaluate with the naked eye.14.3.8.2 Use a magnifier to examine the area for cracks.14.3.8.3 R

44、ub a water-based dark-colored marker into thedamaged area to highlight the cracks.14.3.9 Then observe at the inch-pound (kilogram-meter)level where the coating passed or failed. The value where theresults change from mainly passing to mainly failing is theimpact failure end point.15. Calculation and

45、 Interpretation of Results15.1 Impact energy is calculated as the height the load israised times the weight of the load:IE 5 HL3 LWwhere:IE = impact energy, inch-lbsf or Joules,HL= height load drops, in. or mm, andLW= weight of load, lb or kg.15.2 Evaluation of whether the thermoplastic pavementmark

46、ing materials is a failure or not can be agreed upon by thebuyer and the seller. If no other criteria can be agreed upon, thefollowing types of failure can occur and be considered afailure.15.2.1 Crackscracks radiating from the impact zone andlonger than 0.4 in. (10 mm), visible (Fig. 7).15.2.2 Dela
