1、Designation: E 1911 09Standard Test Method forMeasuring Paved Surface Frictional Properties Using theDynamic Friction Tester1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1911; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision

2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the procedure for measuringpaved surface frictional properties as a function of

3、speed usingthe Dynamic Friction Tester (DF-Tester).1.2 The DF Tester consists of a horizontal spinning diskfitted with three spring loaded rubber sliders which contact thepaved surface as the disk rotational speed decreases due to thefriction generated between the sliders and the paved surface. Awat

4、er supply unit delivers water to the paved surface beingtested. The torque generated by the slider forces measuredduring the spin down is then used to calculate the friction as afunction of speed.1.3 The DF Tester can be used for laboratory investigationsand in the field on actual paved surfaces.1.4

5、 The values stated in SI (metric) units are to be regardedas standard. The inch-pound equivalents are rationalized, ratherthan exact mathematical conversions.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user

6、of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:For Definitions of terms pertaining to this standard, seeTerminology E 867.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test

8、method uses a disk that spins with its planeparallel to the test surface. Three rubber sliders are mounted onthe lower surface of the disk. The disk work pavement isbrought to the desired rotational velocity, corresponding to themaximum tangential velocity of the sliders. The DF Tester iscapable of

9、providing a maximum tangential velocity of 90km/h (55 mph).4.2 Water is introduced in front of the sliders and the disk islowered to contact the test surface so that it bears the fullvelocity of the disk and model assembly.4.3 The torque is monitored continuously as the disk rota-tional velocity red

10、uces due to the friction between the slidersand the test surface.4.4 The torque signal is reduced to a measurement offriction by converting the torque to the force on the sliders anddividing by the weight of the disk and motor assembly.4.5 The friction at 20, 40, 60, and 80 km/h (12, 24, 36, and48 m

11、ph) is recorded and the friction-speed relationship may beplotted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a measure of surface frictionas a function of sliding speed, either in the field or in alaboratory.5.2 This test method may be used to determine the relativeeffects of various polis

12、hing techniques on materials or materialcombinations.5.3 The values measured in accordance with this method donot necessarily agree or directly correlate with those obtainedutilizing other methods of determining friction properties orskid resistance.6. Apparatus6.1 DF Tester (see Fig. 1)The measurin

13、g instrumentconsists of a main body and a control unit. A portable personalcomputer or an X-Y plotter can be used to record the data. Fig.1 shows the DF Tester measuring unit, consisting of a fly wheeland disc which is driven by a motor. Three rubber sliders areattached to the disc by leaf springs.

14、The sliders are pressed on1This test method is under the jurisdiction of Committee E17 on Vehicle -Pavement Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E17.21 on FieldMethods for Measuring Tire Pavement Friction.Current edition approved Jan. 1, 2009.

Each slider is loaded to 11.8 N (2.65 lbf) by the leafsprings. The disc and the fly wheel are connected by a sp

17、ringbalance mounted along a circle on which the rubber sliders arefixed. Due to the forces on the rubber sliders, displacementoccurs in a spring balance. This displacement is converted to anelectrical signal through a displacement transducer with anaccuracy of 61 % of full scale attached to the oppo

18、site side ofthe disc. This signal is output through a slip ring and brush,both of which are mounted on a driving shaft. The speed ofrubber sliders is measured from the output of a rotational speeddynamo.6.2 Water Supply (see Fig. 2)A water supply unit isprovided to maintain a wet condition of the te

19、st surface. Whenthe tank is 0.6 m above the tester a water flow of 3.6 l/min(0.95 gal/min) is maintained. If the flow is initiated when therotation corresponds to a tangential velocity of 85 km/h (50mph) the water thickness will be 1 mm (0.04 in.) by the timethat the velocity reaches 90 km/h (55 mph

20、) and the measure-ment is initiated.6.3 Slider (see Fig. 3)The slider assembly shall consist ofa steel backing plate to which is bondeda6by16by20mm(0.25 by 0.63 by 0.79 in.) rubber shaped as shown in Fig. 3.This shape provides a contact pressure of 150 kPa (21.5(lbf/in.2). The rubber compound shall

21、be synthetic rubber asspecified in Specification E 501 and shall have a shore hard-ness of 58 6 2. The sliders shall be replaced due to waves aftertwelve runs. The slider production date is given on the plasticbag in which they are shipped. The sliders must be used withintwelve months of the product

22、ion date to avoid effects ofpassive deterioration.NOTE 1On extremely harsh surfaces it may be necessary to replacethe sliders more often.FIG. 1 The DF Testers (Dimensions in. mm: 25.4 mm=1in.)E1911092FIG. 2 The Watering ApparatusFIG. 3 The Rubber Slider (Dimensions in mm: 25.4 mm=1in.)E19110936.4 Da

23、ta CollectionThe instantaneous value of the fric-tion is detected as a signal from the force transducer. Thevibration during measurement is absorbed by a damper. Thesignal is filtered by a first order R-C filter with a time constantof 0.1 s. The signal may be saved for future analysis.6.5 Data Recor

24、dingThe tester can be connected to apersonal computer and the data can be displayed on the screenand stored on floppy discs. As an alternative, the friction signaland the speed signal from the rotational speed dynamo can berecorded using an X-Y plotter to provide a paper record of therelation betwee

25、n friction and speed.NOTE 2Calibration of the DFTester is rarely necessary. Most unitshave operated successfully for many years without the need for calibra-tion. In the event that it is felt that a DFTester should be calibrated itshould be performed at a facility approved by the manufacturer. A lis

26、t ofcalibration and repair facilities can be obtained from the manufacturer.7. Test Samples7.1 FieldField test surfaces shall be free of loose particlesand flushed with clean water. The test surface does not have tobe horizontal provided the instrument can be leveled inworking position.7.2 Laborator

27、yLaboratory test panels shall be clean andfree of loose particles and shall be held rigidly so as not to bemoved by the forces during measurement.7.2.1 Flat laboratory test panels shall have a test surface ofat least 600 by 600 mm (24 by 24 in.) with no disturbance fromedge effects for a diameter of

28、 500 mm (20 in.).8. Procedure8.1 Place the DF Tester on the test sample that should belevel and free of any contamination.NOTE 3It is preferable to operate the DF Tester at a location where thesurface is flat. However, the effect of slope on the results is due to thedecrease of the vertical load on

29、the sliders by the cosine of the slope angle.Therefore a slope of 20 % will decrease the vertical load by only 2 %.Slopes higher than 30 % are not recommended.8.2 Start the rotation of the disk. Verify that the fly wheeland disc with three rubber sliders rotates without contacting thetest surface, a

30、nd start the water supply.8.3 When the rotating speed reaches a target speed, waterflow is closed and the driving device is lowered to the testsurface.8.4 The measurement begins, the speed of the drivingdevice gradually decreases due to the friction between rubbersliders and the test surface, and fi

31、nally stops.8.5 Record the test results or store the data for futureanalysis.9.
