During phase two, each subsystem isevaluated and if necessary, adjusted to insure compliance withtolerances outlined in Test Method E274.

16、 Phase three is thefinal dynamic correlation between the visiting system and theARFMS.4.2 An additional service of the FTC will be to calibrate thecalibration platform or force plate used by the visiting agency.4.3 A detailed report will be generated and presented to thevisiting agency describing al

Significance and Use5.1 Friction characteristics of road surfaces are monitoredby friction measurement systems, and the operating procedurefor the use of these systems is found in Test Method E274.However, mechanical or electronic system anomalies, overtime, coul

Thisrequires that each of these systems be evaluated, calibrated andcorrelated on a regular basis.5.2 This guide defines the process of ensuring that TestMethod E274 systems produce consistent and accurate dataand correlating the Test Method E274 syste

On systems using two test wheels, theseprocedures must be repeated for the opposite side.7. As Arrived Correlation7.1 Visiting systems, upon

29、arrival, will be correlated withthe FTC ARFMS on three surfaces at the systems normal testspeed and optionally at one to two additional test speeds (seeNote 2), with twelve repeats each. This will be done with eithera Specification E501 or Test Method E556 test tire on eachsystem as requested by the

30、 visiting personnel. The visitingsystem and theARFMS should attempt to measure in the samelateral and longitudinal location for each pair of skids. Thetwelve repeats will be averaged and the mean and standarddeviation will be reported, for each system, for each of thethree surfaces. These values wil

31、l be referred to as the “AsArrived Correlation Data.”8. Physical Measurements8.1 Physical measurements of the visiting system will beconducted and recorded in the as arrived condition, beforeany changes are made. These measurements consist of: waternozzle height, horizontal angle, and lateral positi

33、ler axle will be recorded.8.2 Angle of the trailer tongue and direction (up or down)along with the trailer lean angle will be recorded.8.3 Hitch height, above ground level, versus water load ismeasured and recorded at a full tank of water, a half tank andan empty tank.8.4 The angular rotation of the

34、 force transducer(s) shallexperience less than 1 degree angular rotation with respect toits measuring plane. This may be measured on the calibrationplatform, during the Static Force Evaluation and Calibration,E2793 102using a precision inclinometer attached to the test wheel andoperating the platfor

37、sures (trailer tires are always set to 24 psi (1.65bars).9.5 Separate trailer from truck and install the tongue loadcell fixture under the trailer hitch.9.6 With both platforms floating, weigh and record the “AsArrived” weight of each wheel and the tongue weight. Anychanges to these weights, after t

38、he “As Arrived” data runs, arerecorded as “Final.”9.7 Reconnect truck and trailer and check trailer alignment.9.8 Apply external air and power to skid system.9.9 Start the truck data system and go to the bridge forcesscreen.9.10 Record the as arrived calibration values (for example:bias, zero, gain,

39、 shunt, or static) for the horizontal force andvertical force channels.9.11 Make an “As Arrived” run, with the plate floating andthe brake locked, from 0 to 800 lb (0 to 362 kg) in 100 lb (45kg) steps recording horizontal and vertical force from platformand horizontal and vertical force from truck d

42、plied then lock the brake and pull 500lb (226 kg) horizontal force. Compare the difference in verticalforce value on the platform to the difference in vertical forcevalue from the test wheel transducer. The difference betweenthe change in the transducer force and platform force should beless than 1

43、% or 5 lbs (2.2 kg). If not, rotate the wheeltransducer or adjust the hitch height, within manufactureslimits.9.15 With zero horizontal force applied, measure thevertical-into-horizontal cross talk by first recording the wheeltransducer horizontal force at full vertical force (approximately1085 lb (

44、492 kg) then reduce the wheel weight by 500 lb (226kg) and record wheel horizontal force again. The differencebetween two horizontal force values should be less than 5 lb(2.2 kg). If not, rotate the wheel transducer or adjust the hitchheight slightly, within manufactures limits.9.16 If any mechanica

45、l changes were made, repeat steps9.13, 9.14 and 9.15 until both axes exhibit a cross talk less than1 %. Record the changes and new values.9.17 With additional weights on the test wheel fender,evaluate the vertical force transducer with emphasis on therange from 1250 to 800 lb (566 kg to 362 kg). Mak

47、. Nonlinearityshould be less than1%oftheapplied load.9.18 Using the air bearing platform, calibrate the frictionmeasurement system vertical and horizontal force channels inaccordance with the manufacturers instructions.9.19 Make three “Final” runs, with the plate floating and thebrake locked. Two fr

49、y (applied vs. measured SN) be 1 % of reading from 200lb (91 kg), horizontal force, to full scale. If the calibrationprocess indicates the system is outside these recommendationsremedial action should be taken.9.21 When finished, save the calibration values developedin the system computer. Record the horizontal and verticalforce calibration shunt and other computed constants.9.22 Print out the computer cycle time. Verify with graphi-cal run data, if available or physical observation of eventsduring the final correlation.10. Tire Pressure gauge Calibration10.1 Using the
