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

9、 The test surface is cleaned and thoroughly wetted 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 surfa

10、ce.3.4 A drag pointer indicates the British pendulum (tester)number. The greater the friction between the slider and the testsurface, the more the swing is retarded, and the larger the BPNreading. Four swings of the pendulum are made for each testsurface.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method p

11、rovides a measure of a frictionalproperty, microtexture of surfaces, either in the field or in thelaboratory.4.2 This test method may be used to determine the relativeeffects of various polishing processes on materials or materialcombinations.4.3 The values measured in accordance with this method do

12、not necessarily agree or directly correlate with those obtainedutilizing other methods of determining friction properties orskid resistance.NOTE 1BPN and polish values from similar types of surfaces will notbe numerically equal, primarily because of the differences in slide lengthand surface shape.

13、Theoretical correction of the polish values to obtainnumerical equality, either by mathematical manipulation or by use ofspecial measuring scales, is not recommended.5.

Lock pendulum head firmly, raiselifting handle, and remove spacer.7.3.2 Raise slider by lifting handle, move pen

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 slowly lower until slider edge ag

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 therubber slide, adjust by raising or

33、lowering instrument with thefront leveling screws. Re-adjust level of instrument if neces-sary. Place pendulum in release position and rotate the dragpointer counter-clockwise until it comes to rest against adjust-ment screw on pendulum arm.8. Procedure8.1 Apply sufficient water to cover the test ar

34、ea 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 andthe test surface. Prior to e

35、ach swing, the pointer should be returned untilit rests against the adjustment screw.8.2 Without delay, make four more swings, re-wetting thetest area each time, and record the results.NOTE 3Care should be taken that the slider remains parallel to the testsurface during the swings, and does not rota

36、te 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 spring clip and the assembl

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 the precision and biasof BPN units.10.1 Repeated tests show standard deviations as follows:British rubber sliders 1.0 BPN unitRubber sliders (

41、conforming toSpecification E501)1.2 BPN unitsIn both cases, the upper quartile of variability is representedin prevailing test instruments.As there is no marked correlationbetween standard deviation and arithmetic mean of sets of testvalues, it appears that standard deviations are pertinent to thist

42、est regardless of the average skid resistance being tested.10.2 The relationship, 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 eva

43、luated,and only repeatability is given for the method.10.3 Determine the testing 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 (BPN units),andn = number of tests.10.4 In order to ensure that the testing

44、error stays within 1.0BPN unit at a 95 % confidence level (corresponding to 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.
