Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method consists of using a pendulum-typetester with a standard rubber slider to determine the frictionalproperties of a test surface.3.2 The test surface is cleaned and thoroughly we

8、tted priorto testing.3.3 The pendulum slider is positioned to barely come incontact with the test surface prior to conducting the test. Thependulum is raised to a locked position, then released, thusallowing the slider to make contact with the test surface.3.4 A drag pointer indicates the British Pe

Four swings of the pendulum are made for each testsurface.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a measure of a frictionalproperty, mic

Lower pendulum so edge ofslider just touches surface. Lock pendulum head firmly, raiselifting handle, and remove spacer.7.3.2 Raise s

Place gage beside slider andparallel to direction of swing to verify length of contact path.Raise slider, using lifting handle, and move pendulum to left,then s

If the length of the contact path is not between 124 and127 mm (478 and 5.0 in.) on flat test specimens or between 75and 78 mm (21516 and 3116 in.) on curved polishing-wheelspecimens, measured from trailing edge to trailing edge of therubb

Readjust level of instrument if necessary.Place pendulum in release position and rotate the drag pointercounter-clockwise until it comes to rest against adjustmentscrew on pendulum arm.8. Procedure8.1 Apply sufficient

33、water to cover the test area thoroughly.Execute one swing, but do not record reading.NOTE 2Always catch the pendulum during the early portion of itsreturn swing. While returning the pendulum to its starting position, raisethe slider with its lifting handle to prevent contact between the slider andth

34、e test surface. Prior to each swing, the pointer should be returned untilit rests against the adjustment screw.8.2 Without delay, make four more swings, rewetting thetest area each time and record the results.NOTE 3Care should be taken that the slider remains parallel to the testsurface during the s

35、wings, and does not rotate so that one end rather thanthe entire striking edge makes the initial contact. Available data indicatethat tilting of the slider may cause erroneous BPN readings.Installation of a small flat spring will relieve the problem. The springcan be inserted into a slot in the spri

36、ng clip and the assembly secured bythe cotter pin as shown in Fig. 4.The free ends of the spring can rest onthe slider backing plate to restrain the slider from tilting.8.3 Recheck the slide contact length in accordance with 4.3.9.

Precision and BiasNOTE 4The following material pertains only to t

38、he precision and biasof BPN units.10.1 Repeated tests show standard deviations as follows:British rubber sliders 1.0 BPN unitRubber sliders (conforming toSpecification E501)1.2 BPN unitsIn both cases the upper quartile of variability is representedin prevailing test instruments.As there is no marked

39、 correlationFIG. 3 Slider Assembly Illustrating the Maximum Wear on Strik-ing EdgeE303 93 (2013)3between standard deviation and arithmetic mean of sets of testvalues, it appears that standard deviations are pertinent to thistest regardless of the average skid resistance being tested.10.2 The relatio

40、nship, if any exists, of observed BPN unitsto some “true” value of skid resistance has not and probablycannot be studied. As a result, precision and bias of this test inrelation to a true skid resistance measure cannot be evaluated,and only repeatability is given for the method.10.3 Determine the te

41、sting error as follows:E 5 tn21/2(1)where:E = testing error,t = normal curve of 1.96 or 2.0 rounded, = standard deviation of individual test results (BPNunits), andn = number of tests.10.4 In order to ensure that the testing error stays within 1.0BPN unit at a 95 % confidence level (corresponding to

42、 anormal curve of 1.96 or 2.0 rounded), the following samplesizes are needed:British natural rubber sliders 4Synthetic rubber sliders (conforming to Specification E501)5ANNEX(Mandatory Information)A1. CALIBRATIONA1.1 Weight of PendulumThe pendulum arm withmounted rubber slider shall be disconnected

43、from the instru-ment and weighed to the nearest 1 g.A1.2 Center of GravityThe center of gravity of thependulum with a mounted rubber slider shall be determined byplacing the pendulum assembly over a knife edge and experi-mentally locating the point of balance as shown in Fig. A1.1.The adapter nut sh

44、all be held at the far end of the arm by a lightpaper wedge. After the point of balance has been obtained, theposition of the balance weight shall be adjusted until the slidesof the pendulum foot are horizontal.A1.3 Distance of Center of Gravity from Center ofOscillationWith the pendulum reconnected

45、 to thetester and knurled bearing cap removed, distance shall bemeasured from the center of oscillation (center of bearing nut)to the point of balance (center of gravity). This distance shallbe measured directly to the nearest 1 mm (0.04 in.).A1.4 Slider Load The pendulum shall be clamped to aholder

46、 attached to the scale plate of the tester and the testerplaced and leveled on a tripod stand as shown in Fig. A1.2.Insert the spacer. Adjust the pan balance with a bearingassembly (see Note A1.1) on one pan and tare weights on theFIG. 4 Spring Clip and Spring to Inhibit Slider RotationFIG. A1.1 Pen

48、 the bearing assembly.Lock vertical height knob and remove the spacer. This willcause an unbalance which shall be partially compensated byadding weights to the opposite pan to bring the indicator towithin approximately 200 g of the center scale reading. Tocomplete the balance procedure, the pointer

49、is returned to thecenter scale reading, by adding water slowly into a graduatedcylinder. Empty the cylinder and repeat pouring. Record theaverage weight required to raise slider so that the balancepointer is at the center of scale (see Note A1.2). If the average,normal slider load between the 76-mm (3-in.) wide slider andthe pan balance is not within the requirements stated in 2.1.1adjust the spring tension nut illustrated in Fig. 2 and redeter-mine the slider load.NOTE A1.1The bearing assembly may be a “ladder” bearing with arigid, free-moving
