Road and airfield surface characteristics - Test methods - Part 4: Method for measurement of slip/skid resistance of a surface: The pendulum test

This European Standard describes a method for determining the slip/skid resistance of a surface using a device which remains stationary at the test location. The slip/skid resistance is measured by means of a slider mounted at the end of a pendulum arm.
The method provides a measure of the slip/skid resistance properties of a surface either in the field or in the laboratory.
This method measures the slip/skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0,01 m2). This should be considered when deciding its applicability to a surface which may have non-homogeneous surface characteristics, e.g. containing ridges or grooves, or is rough textured (exceeding 1,2 mm patch test).
NOTE   As the results from this test are taken at one small location, the results cannot be compared with results from devices e.g. mobile devices, that measure the slip/skid resistance over a long length of a surface.

Oberflächeneigenschaften von Straßen und Flugplätzen - Prüfverfahren - Teil 4: Verfahren zur Messung der Griffigkeit von Oberflächen: Der Pendeltest

Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Griffigkeit einer Oberfläche mit einem stationären Gerät. Die Griffigkeit wird mit einem am Ende eines Pendelarms befestigten Gleitkörper gemessen.
Das Verfahren ermöglicht entweder im Feldversuch oder im Labor die Messung der Griffigkeit einer Oberfläche.
Mit diesem Verfahren wird die Griffigkeit eines kleinen Teils einer Oberfläche (etwa 0,01 m2) bestimmt. Dies sollte berücksichtigt werden, wenn über die Anwendbarkeit des Verfahrens zur Messung einer Oberfläche, die nicht homogene Oberflächeneigenschaften, z. B. mit Graten oder Rillen, oder eine raue Oberflächen-beschaffenheit (über 1,2 mm Strukturtiefe) aufweist, zu entscheiden ist.
ANMERKUNG   Da die Ergebnisse aus dieser Prüfung über einen kleinen Bereich erzielt werden, können sie nicht mit den Ergebnissen verglichen werden, die mit Vorrichtungen zur Messung der Griffigkeit über eine größere Oberflächenlänge - z. B. mit mobilen Vorrichtungen - erzielt werden.

Caractéristiques de surface des routes et aérodromes - Méthode d'essai - Partie 4: Méthode d'essai pour mesurer l'adhérence d'une surface: L'essai au pendule

La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode permettant de déterminer l’adhérence d’une surface au
moyen d’un dispositif statique à l’emplacement soumis à l’essai. L’adhérence est mesurée par l’intermédiaire
d’un patin monté à l’extrémité du bras d’un pendule.
Cette méthode fournit une mesure des caractéristiques d’adhérence d’une surface sur site ou en laboratoire.
Elle mesure l’adhérence d’une surface réduite de revêtement (environ 0,01 m2) et il convient d’en tenir compte
pour décider de son applicabilité à un revêtement ayant des caractéristiques superficielles non homogènes,
c’est-à-dire présentant par exemple des stries ou des rainures, ou ayant une texture rugueuse
(dépassant 1,2 mm lors d’un essai de profondeur moyenne de texture).
NOTE Du fait que les résultats fournis par cet essai correspondent à une surface limitée, ils ne peuvent pas être
comparés à des résultats ayant été obtenus au moyen d’appareils dynamiques qui mesurent l’adhérence sur une grande
longueur de revêtement.

Značilnosti cestnih in letaliških površin - Preskusne metode - 4. del: Metoda merjenja odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu - Preskus z nihalom

Ta evropski standard opisuje metodo za določanje odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu z uporabo stacionarne naprave na preskusni lokaciji. Odpornost proti drsenju/zdrsu je merjena z roko nihala. Metoda določa merilo lastnosti odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu na terenu ali v laboratoriju.
Ta metoda meri odpornost površine proti drsenju/zdrsu na manjšem območju površine(približno 0,01 m2). To je treba upoštevati, kadar se odločamo za njeno uporabnost na površini, ki ima nehomogene značilnosti, vsebuje na primer grebene ali žlebove ali ima grobo teksturo (ki presega 1,2 mm krpičnega preskusa).
OPOMBA 1: Ker rezultati tega preskusa izhajajo z manjše lokacije, se ne morejo primerjati z rezultati naprav, npr. mobilnih naprav, ki merijo odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu na daljši dolžini. OPOMBA 2: Na točnost in natančnost preskusa lahko vpliva operativni delavec. Preskus mora izvesti usposobljena in pristojna oseba, ki je izvedla postopek potrditve iz dodatka A.1.

The rubber shall be free from contamination by, for example, dust, abrasive or oil. 6.12 Before using a new slider rubber it shall be conditioned to achieve a minimum width of sliding edge as shown in Figure 3. After the conditioning procedure this is typically greater than 1 mm. 6.13 This can be achieved by setting up the tester and carrying out sufficient swings wet or dry as described in A.2. 6.14 When the width of the working edge of the rubber pad exceeds 2,5 mm for slider 57 and 3 mm for slider 96, or when it becomes excessively scored or burred, this edge shall no longer be used. The edge shall be suitably disfigured to prevent its further use, and the other long edge of the rubber pad shall be adopted as the working edge. When the width of this edge also exceeds 2,5 mm or 3 mm respectively or when it becomes excessively scored or burred, the rubber pad shall be discarded. 6.15 The slider assembly shall be stored in a dry watertight bag in the dark at a temperature of (10 ± 5) °C. The slider assembly shall be at ambient temperature when used. SIST EN 13036-4:2011

Set the sliding length of the slider (the distance between two points where the sliding edge of the rubber touches the test surface) by gently lowering the pendulum arm while using the vertical screw (Figure 1) after unclamp the head of the pendulum until the slider just touches the surface, first on one side of the vertical, and then on the other.The sliding length shall be between (126 ± 1) mm for the wide slider and (76 ± 1) mm for the narrow slider. This is normally accomplished as follows in a series of small steps, using one of the gauges shown in Figure 2 for 126 mm sliding length or a special scale for the narrow slider with a sliding length of 76mm.
11.8.1 Move the pendulum foot to the right and lower the head so that the slider starts to contact the test surface with its rear corner (aluminium backing) level with the right (outermost) mark on the gauge. Manually hold the gauge in that position. 11.8.2 Raise the slider with the slider lifting handle and move the pendulum foot to left hand side sufficiently to ensure the slider is clear of the surface when the slider is lowered. 11.8.3 Allow the pendulum foot to gently drop back so that the slider contacts the test surface.

is the constant value achieved by the final three swings if the initial swings are too variable as described in 11.11. NOTE Some product test methods use a different number of swings and a different calculation of the PTV. 12.2 Report the PTV to the nearest whole number. 12.3 Where testing in the field, correct Pendulum Test Value for temperature using the nearest temperature from Table 3 below. 12.4 The measured slider temperature shall be the mean of the temperatures of the wetted slider before and after testing. 12.5 Report the temperature corrected PTV value as PTVCorr to the nearest whole number. The PTV for a location is the mean of three individual PTV determinations. NOTE 1 Where it was not possible to use the wide slider, the results for a narrow slider (see 6.4) on a flat surface/specimen over a 76 mm nominal swept length, shall be multiplied by a factor of 1,1 to obtain an estimated PTV within 10 %.

NOTE 2 The temperature correction for slider temperatures above 30 °C and below 10 °C are approximate and depend upon the roughness of the surface being tested. No temperature correction of Pendulum Test Value (PTV) is required when the test is carried out at other than 20 °C using slider 96. 13 Precision The reproducibility of the measuring method has been examined on the basis of a round-robin test in which eleven different European laboratories participated. This involved testing twelve different material surfaces, whereby each laboratory tested the relevant material surfaces under laboratory conditions, using a slider 57 as well as a slider 96. Testing was done in the “wet” condition. The materials were tested in two opposite directions and the average value was examined. The standard deviations found were as follows:
 Slider 96: From 1.5 to 4.5 PTV units, depending on the nature and the surface characteristics of the material, with an average standard deviation of 2.4 PTV units. SIST EN 13036-4:2011

Validation and Calibration of the pendulum friction tester A.1 Validation of the performance of the Pendulum Tester A.1.1 General A.1.1.1 To ensure consistency of readings, the operation of the pendulum tester shall be validated daily, prior to and after use, using the method described below. It should also be used on return from calibration to check for damage in transit. A.1.1.2 The validation procedure comprises one set of readings in the wet condition on two standard surfaces, representing high and low PTV. A.1.1.3 The standard surfaces shall be wet float glass, free from contamination and scratches and a wet piece of verification film mounted on float glass. The verification film shall be used on one day only. A.1.1.4 The values obtained shall be used to monitor the performance of the operation of the pendulum tester until it is next calibrated. A.1.1.5 The acceptable verification limits are given in Table A.1. Table A.1 — Verification values for pendulum operation

A.1.1.6 When conducting the verification test a single virgin/untested area of the sheet of verification film shall be used for the set of eight swings required. NOTE The float glass measurement may be influenced by the moisture penetration in the rubber pore structure. It is necessary to recondition the rubber slider before verifying the float glass value. A.1.1.7 Should the value obtained from any daily check vary by more than 4 units from the value obtained in on return from calibration, the operation of the pendulum tester shall be investigated. A.1.1.8 Should the value obtained between start and finish checks on any one day by more than 2 units, the operation of the pendulum tester shall be investigated. NOTE The procedure may also be used to ensure that the operative is using the procedures in this standard correctly. A.1.2 Procedure A.1.2.1 Before carrying out the validation of performance of the Pendulum Tester, the pendulum shoud be adjusted in accordance with Clause 11.
