Summary of Practice3.1 The circular track is fitted with twelve spec

15、imen holdersthat can be adapted to specimens of various shapes andthicknesses, but when mounted in the track, form a continuousplane running surface for the polishing wheels. A complete setof twelve specimens exposed to wear and polishing at the sametime is counted as a round of testing. Usually spe

It is recom-mended that each variable be repeated in three separate rounds,making a minimum of nine specimens per va

17、riable to obtain anaverage polishing curve.3.2 To obtain a polishing curve, specimens are subjected topolishing action in the track until friction measurements showno substantial decrease in level with continued polishing effort.Measurements are recorded at the beginning of the test andperiodically

18、throughout the test cycle to establish the shape ofthe polishing curve. Usually8hofexposure on the track at 30r/min or 7200 wheel passes per hour is sufficient to completethe polishing cycle for bituminous bound mixtures and exposedaggregate specimens. For portland-cement-concrete boundmixtures, it

19、is recommended that a polish curve be obtained onthe original textured surface followed by removal of thesurface to expose the coarse aggregate using the steel-studdedabrading wheels. A polishing curve is then obtained for theexposed aggregate surface.3.3 Friction measurements can be obtained for bi

20、tuminousplant mix type surfaces using the British Pendulum Tester inaccordance with Test Method E 303. The British PendulumTester has been found to be ineffective in obtaining frictionmeasurements on highly textured surfaces such as bituminoussurface treatments and portland-cement-concrete surfaces.

21、Therefore, it is recommended that the North Carolina StateUniversity Variable-Speed Friction Tester2be used in accor-dance with Test Method E 707 as the friction measurementdevice on highly textured surfaces. With the Variable SpeedFriction Tester, speed gradients are obtainable in the laboratory.3.

Significance and Use4.1 The use of laboratory obtained polishing curves andspeed gradients on proposed aggregate combinations andpavement mixtures are helpful tools in predicting the
