Point elevations are then measured at regular 12-in.intervals along each line. The elevation differences between all adjacent reading points are calculated, and

Finally, the F-Numbers for each test section are combined to arriveat a composite set of F-Numbers for each test

29、e a random sampling of the surface, since all of the infinite potential profiles to be seen by the traffic can not possibly be measured.In those instances when the traffic across a floor will be confined to specific paths, however, the requirement for random sampling is eliminated, sincethe floor ca

In these special cases, rather than inferring the condition of the traffic pathsfrom a random sample, it is far more useful to measure each of the traffic paths directly using continuous recording floor profilometer configured t

31、o runexactly in the traffic wheel paths. Such direct simulation measurements eliminate the inherent uncertainties of statistical sampling and provide profileinformation immediately applicable to the correction of the surface in way of the future traffic.6.

At least one qi measurement shall be taken on each straightsection of joint, with a maximum interval between measurement locations not to exceed 10 ft. These measurement locations shallbe recorded.NOTE 4Since construction joints are a discontinuity

49、in the floor surface, measuring across them would introduce statistical anomalies into this testmethod. Construction joints are therefore excluded from the generation of F-Number statistics. However, since traffic will nevertheless pass across manyof the construction joints, a separate measurement and analysis of the joints may be required in order to provide a quantitative measure of the roughnessof the joints themselves. Some joints may never see traffic, for example, those along a wall. The particular joints r
