Scope1.1 This test method covers the connectivity of the textureas it relates to the drainage capability of the pavement throughits s

3、urface and subsurface voids. This is a specific device thattimes how long it takes a known quantity of water, undergravitational pull, to escape through voids in the pavementtexture of the structure being tested. The technique is intendedto provide a measure of the ability of the pavement to relieve

It will beup to the operator to compare the results of this test to otherpertinent factors such as expected rainfall intensity and fre-quency, aggregate type, consis

Comparing theoutflow meter reading of a pavement known to have a historyof hydroplaning, against one wit

Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms, see Terminology E 867.4. Summary of Test Method Operations4.1 The main body of the outflow meter is

12、 a verticalcylinder for containing water. It has an open top and a rubberring mounted centrally around an orifice or opening on thebottom of the device to form a seal against the pavementsurface. Water discharge is through the opening in the center ofthe seal and is controlled by a spring loaded plu

13、nger suspendedfrom a cap mounted on the upper end of the cylinder. Upperand lower float switches are suspended from the cap into thecylinder and mounted vertically. An electronic timer is pro-vided and is wired to the float switches.4.2 The outflow meter is placed on the pavement with theplunger sea

14、ling the water discharge opening. Sufficient water isthen poured into the cylinder to raise the switch floats to theirraised or top position, which will prevent the timer fromoperating. The timer is reset to zero and the plunger is releasedto allow discharge of the water. As water flows out of theop

15、ening and through the pavement voids, the water level in thecylinder falls past the upper float switch, which activates,causing the electronic timer to begin counting. As the waterlevel continues to fall past the level of the lower float switch,1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Com

18、 then activates, causing the timer to stop.The time required for the water level in the cylinder to fall fromthe level of the upper float switch to the level of the lower floatswitch is indicated on the timer. This is recorded as the outflowtime.4.3 Calibrations over a temperature range of 40 to 120

19、F (4to 49C) show no temperature affects.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is suitable as a field test to evaluate thesurface drainage, and in some cases, the internal drainage ofthe surface course of a pavement. When used with other tests,the outflow time may be used to evaluate the textur

20、e producedby an asphalt pavement mix, a finishing method used onPortland Cement Pavement, and refinishing operations on anold pavement surface. Test results will correlate with othermethods such as the CTMeter (Test Method E 2157), MPD(Practice E 1845) and MTD (Test Method E 965).NOTE 1The reciproca

21、l of the outflow time is highly correlated withthe MPD except when the surface is highly porous since the MPD is ameasure of the surface texture and does not account for the water flowingthrough the surface pores.5.2 The outflow times measured by this method are anindication only, and are not meant

22、to provide a completeassessment of the pavement surface friction, or wet weathersafety characteristics.5.3 This test method does not necessarily correlate or agreewith other methods of measuring pavement surface character-istics. It is up to the operator to determine the correlation ofeach method co

Theoutflow time must be at least 22 s but less than 23 s on 5consecutive tests to qualify for calibration status on thecalib

30、ration plate. When measuring to11000 of a second, a CV of0.65 % shall be met.8. Procedure8.1 Test AreaInspect the pavement surface to be measuredand select a homogeneous area that contains no unique,localized features such as paint, holes, bumps, cracks, or joints.If there is any loose or semi-adher

31、ed dirt, debris, or deterio-rated surface material, thoroughly clean the pavement surfacein the area where the test is to be taken using a broom or stiffwire brush. On pavements that have just been under traffic,tests performed without cleaning will give actual drainagecapability.8.2 MeasurementPlac

32、e the Outflow Meter on the pave-ment making sure that it is stable and uniformly contacts therubber sealing ring to the pavement. On the first test, wet theplunger sealing ring by holding it close to the seat and pour ina little water. Set the plunger by pushing down on the handleuntil the plunger s

33、eal enters the seat, and fill the cylinder withwater. For accurate measurement, the water level must extendover the top float switch sufficiently to allow air bubblestrapped between the pavement surface and the plunger toescape, and the surface water must have a chance to settledown before the water

34、 level reaches the top float switch. Makesure the timer is reset to zero. Carefully pull the plunger upwhile applying an equal counter force downward on thehandle. When the plunger seal is released from the seat, thisbecomes a hands off operation. A spring will return the plungerto its most upright

35、position. From this point, the Outflow Meterworks automatically and should not be touched until the test isover. When the lower float switch is activated and the timerstops, the plunger may be reset to save water and be ready tobe filled with water for the next test. After each test, theOutflow Mete

36、r timer reading and the location of the test shouldbe recorded.8.3 Number of MeasurementsThe more tests that areperformed, the better the average pavement drainage informa-tion will be. In any case, a minimum of four randomly spacedE2380052tests shall be performed and the arithmetic average of the t

37、esttimes shall be reported as the average time for the section of thepavement being evaluated.8.4 For each pavement test section, the arithmetic averageof all outflow meter test times will be determined and recordedto the 0.01 s. The following equation will be used to estimatethe Mean Texture Depth:

38、MTD 5 3.114/OFT 1 0.636 (1)FIG. 1 Outflow MeterE2380053where:MTD = volumetric texture depth defined in TerminologyE 867.9. Faulty Tests9.1 Tests that are manifestly faulty, or that give outflowtimes differing by more than 10 s from the average of all testson the same pavement surface, shall be treat

39、ed in accordancewith Practice E 178 on outlying observations.10. Report10.1 The report for each pavement test surface shall containdata on the following items:10.1.1 Location and identification of test pavement surface,10.1.2 Date,10.1.3 Ambient air temperature,10.1.4 Pavement temperatures (optional

40、),10.1.5 Number of measurements, and10.1.6 Outflow times recorded.11. Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionThe precision (the standard deviation) ofthe outflow meter that reads only whole seconds is 0.187 s andhas a coefficient variation (CV) of 0.85 % when run on thecalibration plate. The unit that read

41、s to11000 of a second has astandard deviation of 0.143 s (CV of 0.63 %).11.2 BiasBecause the whole second unit truncates, it hasa bias of 0.6 s as compared to the11000 of a second unit.REFERENCES(1) Wambold, J.
