Significance and Use5.1 Friction characteristics of road surfaces are monitoredby friction measurement systems, and

18、the operating procedurefor the use of these systems is found in Test Method E274.However, mechanical or electronic system anomalies, overtime, could result in measurement errors or inaccuracies. Thisrequires that each of these systems be evaluated, calibrated andcorrelated on a regular basis. The in

19、terval between calibrationsdepends on the frequency of use, maintenance and otherfactors. If any repairs are made to the system that may affectthe calibration, the system should be recalibrated before furtheruse. Generally, calibrations and correlations are recommendedto be performed on an annual ba

20、sis by one of the FTCs.5.2 This guide defines the process of ensuring that TestMethod E274 systems produce consistent and accurate dataand correlating the Test Method E274 systems to nationalbenchmark Test Method E274 systems.6.

Accuracy is required inaccordance with Practice F377.6.4 Two Calibration Platforms, with digital instrumentationas described in Test Method E556 and have been calibrated inaccordance with Practice F377. The top surfaces of theplatforms

25、are to be installed at the same height as thesurrounding floor. Air or hydraulic cylinders are required forapplying the horizontal test load.6.5 Two Jacks, for lifting each test wheel.6.6 System Readouts for the test instruments, should becapable of accurate measurement of applied loads.6.7 Water Vo

26、lume Measurement System, to calibrate thewater pumping ability of the water system. Consists of: acollector to capture all water pumped during a fixed timeinterval, a device to measure the volume of water pumped, anda stopwatch.6.8 Static Water Distribution gauge (SDG), a collector, setat floor leve

27、l, which is divided into twenty-two sections ofequal width,58 in. (16 mm), so that each section catches waterfrom the water nozzle and feeds it into a separate reservoir andviewing tubes thus allowing the water nozzle distribution to beevaluated and photographed.6.9 Speed Measurement System, to meas

30、etest wheel, usually the left. On systems using two test wheels, theseprocedures must be repeated for the opposite side.7. As Arrived Correlation7.1 Visiting systems that have been in use in their currentstate, upon arrival, should be correlated with the FTC ARFMSon three surfaces at the systems nor

31、mal test speed andoptionally at one to two additional test speeds (see Note 3),with twelve repeats each. This will be done with either aSpecification E501 or Test Method E524 test tire on eachsystem as requested by the visiting personnel. The visitingsystem and the ARFMS should attempt to measure in

32、 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 will be referred to as the “AsArrived Correlation Data.”8. Physical Measurements8.1

33、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 position relative totire centerline, for each nozzle used.Also, the distance from thebo

34、ttom of the hitch coupler to the floor, distance from the endof the nozzle to the trailer axle center, distance from the traileraxle center to the floor, and the distance from the center of thehitch to the center of the trailer axle will be recorded.8.2 Angle of the trailer tongue and direction (up

35、or down)along with the trailer lean angle will be recorded.E2793 1628.3 Hitch height, above ground level, is measured andrecorded at a half tank.8.4 The angular rotation of the force transducer(s) shallexperience less than 1 degree angular rotation with respect toits measuring plane. This may be mea

36、sured on the calibrationplatform, during the Static Force Evaluation and Calibration,using a precision inclinometer attached to the test wheel andoperating the platform from 0 to 800 lb (0 to 362 kg) horizontalforce.8.5 Any changes to these measurements, to comply withTest Method E274, are to be mad

37、e and recorded as “Final.”9. Static Force Evaluation and CalibrationNOTE 2Any changes made by the following steps may make theprevious calibration/correlation performed by one of the FTCs invalid.Changes should only be made by qualified personnel.9.1 Determine that the calibration platform has been

38、suit-ably calibrated within one year in accordance with PracticeF377.9.2 Drain or fill the water tank to obtain one-half tank ofwater onboard the friction measurement system truck.9.3 Back the trailer onto the calibration platforms ensuringit is square and centered.9.4 Set truck tire, trailer tire a

39、nd air shock pressures to userspecified pressures (trailer tires should be set to 24 psi (1.65bars).9.5 Apply external air and power to skid system.9.6 Start the truck data system and go to the bridge forcesscreen.9.7 Record the as arrived calibration values (for example:bias, zero, gain, shunt, or

40、static) for the horizontal force andvertical force channels.9.8 If the skid system is new, or has had upgrades that affectthe calibration, skip to 9.10. If the skid system has been in usein its current state, make an “As Arrived” evaluation of thesystem by performing these steps:(a) Perform daily st

41、artup procedure per standard practiceby the user.(b) Raise the test wheel above platform and record bothLoad and Traction values from the skid system and thecalibration platform.(c) Lower the test wheel back onto the force plate and“float” the plate, ensuring the plate surface is level in bothdirect

42、ions. Record both Load and Traction values from the skidsystem and the calibration platform (Load should be approxi-mately 1085 lb (492 kg), and Traction should be nearly zero).(d) Float platform and lock brake. Record both Load andTraction values from the skid system and the calibrationplatform wit

43、h an applied force of 0, 500, and 800 lb. Recordcomputed skid number for each condition from the platformand skid system.(e) Measure and record wheel rotation from 0 to 800 lbapplied force. If greater than 1 rotation, repairs must be made.(f) Repeat on 2nd side if a two-sided system.(g) From the dat

44、a collected, determine if system meets the1 % loading and crosstalk requirements of Test Method E274.9.9 Measure and record tongue angle and hitch height (fromground to the bottom of the coupler).9.10 Separate trailer from truck, install the tongue load cellfixture under the trailer hitch and adjust

45、 to the same angle aswhen attached to hitch.9.11 Weigh and record the “As Arrived” weight of eachwheel and the tongue.9.12 If all “As Arrived” values collected are within speci-fications per Test Method E274, reconnect truck and trailer andcheck trailer alignment. Skip to 9.20.9.13 Adjust weights as

46、 needed to meet specifications perTest Method E274 and document “As Final.”9.14 Reconnect truck and trailer and check trailer align-ment.9.15 Configure system (according to manufacturer proce-dure) to read accurate values directly from the transducer.9.16 Measure horizontal force-into-vertical force

47、 cross talkby first recording vertical force on test wheel and plate withzero horizontal force applied 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.

48、The difference betweenthe change in the transducer force and platform force should be1 % or less or 5 lb (2.2 kg). If not, rotate the wheel transduceror adjust the hitch height, within manufactures limits.9.17 With zero horizontal force applied, measure thevertical-into-horizontal cross talk by firs

49、t recording the wheeltransducer horizontal force at full vertical force (approximately1085 lb (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.9.18 If the hitch height was changed or transducer wasrotated, repeat the steps in 9.16 and 9.17 until both axes exhibita cross talk less than 1 %. Record the changes as Final values.9.19 Using the
