Characterization of pavement texture by use of surface profiles - Part 1: Determination of mean profile depth (ISO 13473-1:2019, Corrected version 2021-06)

This document describes a test method to determine the average depth of pavement surface macrotexture (see Clause 3) by measuring the profile of a surface and calculating the texture depth from this profile. The technique is designed to provide an average depth value of only the pavement macrotexture and is considered insensitive to pavement microtexture and unevenness characteristics.
The objective of this document is to make available an internationally accepted procedure for determination of pavement surface texture depth which is an alternative to the traditionally used volumetric patch technique (generally using sand or glass beads), giving comparable texture depth values. To this end, this document describes filtering procedures that are designed to give the best possible representation of texture depths determined with the volumetric patch method[13].
Modern profilometers in use are almost entirely of the contactless type (e.g. laser, light slit or light sheet, to mention a few) and this document is primarily intended for this type. However, this does not exclude application of parts of it for other types of profilometers.
This ISO 13473 series has been prepared as a result of a need identified when specifying a test surface for vehicle noise measurement (see ISO 10844:2014[6]). Macrotexture depth measurements according to this document are not generally adequate for specifying test conditions of vehicle or traffic noise measurements, but have limited applications as a supplement in conjunction with other ways of specifying a surfacing.
This test method is suitable for determining the mean profile depth (MPD) of a pavement surface. This MPD can be transformed to a quantity which estimates the macrotexture depth according to the volumetric patch method. It is applicable to field tests as well as laboratory tests on pavement samples. When used in conjunction with other physical tests, the macrotexture depth values derived from this test method are applicable to estimation of pavement skid resistance characteristics (see e.g. Reference [15]), estimation of noise characteristics and assessment of the suitability of paving materials or pavement finishing techniques.
The method, together with other measurements (where applicable), such as porosity or microtexture, can be used to assess the quality of pavements.
This document is adapted for pavement texture measurement and is not intended for other applications. Pavement aggregate particle shape, size and distribution are surface texture features not addressed in this procedure. The method is not meant to provide a complete assessment of pavement surface texture characteristics. In particular, it is known that there are problems in interpreting the result if the method is applied to porous surfaces or to grooved surfaces (see Annex B).
NOTE Other International Standards dealing with surface profiling methods include, for example, References [1], [2] and [3]. Although it is not clearly stated in these, they are mainly used for measuring surface finish (microtexture) of metal surfaces and are not intended to be applied to pavements.

Charakterisierung der Textur von Deckschichten unter Verwendung von Oberflächenprofilen - Teil 1: Bestimmung der mittleren Profiltiefe (ISO 13473-1:2019, korrigierte Fassung 2021-06)

Dieses Dokument beschreibt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der mittleren Tiefe der Makrotextur der Deckschicht (siehe Abschnitt 3) durch Messung des Profils einer Oberfläche und Berechnung der Texturtiefe aus diesem Profil. Das Verfahren dient dazu, einen Wert ausschließlich für die mittlere Tiefe der Makrotextur der Deckschicht zu liefern, und wird als unempfindlich gegenüber der Mikrotextur und Unebenheit der Fahrbahn angesehen.
Zweck dieses Dokuments ist es, ein international anerkanntes Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Texturtiefe der Deckschicht als Alternative zu dem herkömmlichen volumetrischen Verfahren (üblicherweise unter Verwendung von Sand  oder Glaskugelflecken), das vergleichbare Texturtiefenwerte ergibt, verfügbar zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck beschreibt das vorliegende Dokument Filterungsverfahren, die dafür ausgelegt sind, die mit dem volumetrischen Verfahren [13] bestimmten Texturtiefen bestmöglich darzustellen.
Die meisten aktuell verwendeten Profilometer sind von kontaktloser Ausführung (z. B. Laser, Lichtschlitz oder Lichtschnitt, um nur einige zu nennen) und dieses Dokument ist in erster Linie für diese Ausführung vorgesehen. Das schließt jedoch nicht die Anwendung von Teilen davon auf andere Arten von Profilometern aus.
Die Normenreihe ISO 13473 wurde aufgrund eines festgestellten Bedarfs bei der Festlegung einer Prüfoberfläche für Messungen der Fahrzeuggeräusche (siehe ISO 10844:2014 [6]) erstellt. Makrotextur¬tiefenmessungen nach dem vorliegenden Dokument sind nicht in jedem Fall dafür geeignet, Prüfbedingungen für Fahrzeug  oder Verkehrsgeräuschmessungen festzulegen, sie sind aber in Verbindung mit anderen Verfahren zur Festlegung einer Oberfläche bedingt als Ergänzung verwendbar.
Das hier beschriebene Prüfverfahren ist für die Bestimmung der mittleren Profiltiefe (MPD) einer Deckschicht geeignet. Diese MPD kann zu einer Größe umgerechnet werden, die eine Schätzung der Makrotexturtiefe in Übereinstimmung mit dem volumetrischen Verfahren darstellt. Es ist gleichermaßen bei Feld  und Laborprüfungen an Belagproben anwendbar. Bei Anwendung in Kombination mit anderen physikalischen Prüfverfahren sind die aus diesem Prüfverfahren abgeleiteten Makrotexturtiefenwerte für die Schätzung der Merkmale der Fahrbahngriffigkeit (siehe z. B. Literaturhinweis [15]), die Schätzung der Geräuschmerkmale und die Beurteilung der Eignung des Deckschichtmaterials oder der Oberflächenbearbeitungs¬verfahren anwendbar.
Dieses Verfahren kann zusammen mit anderen Messungen (sofern anwendbar) wie etwa der Porosität oder Mikrotextur zur Beurteilung der Qualität von Deckschichten verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument ist an die Messung der Textur einer Deckschicht angepasst und nicht für andere Anwendungen vorgesehen. Form, Größe und Verteilung der Partikel von Zuschlagstoffen sind nicht Gegenstand der Belagsmerkmale für dieses Verfahren. Das Verfahren ist nicht als vollständige Beurteilung aller Oberflächeneigenschaften der Textur einer Deckschicht gedacht. Insbesondere ist bekannt, dass bei der Auswertung der Ergebnisse Probleme auftreten, wenn das Verfahren auf poröse oder gerillte Oberflächen angewendet wird (siehe Anhang B).
ANMERKUNG   Andere Internationale Normen, die sich mit Methoden zur Messung von Oberflächenprofilen befassen, umfassen z. B. die Literaturhinweise [1], [2] und [3]. Obwohl es in diesen Normen nicht ausdrücklich vermerkt ist, werden sie vor allem für die Messung (der Mikrotextur) endbehandelter Metalloberflächen verwendet und sind nicht dafür vorgesehen, auf Deckschichten angewendet zu werden.

Caractérisation de la texture d'un revêtement de chaussée à partir de relevés de profils de la surface - Partie 1: Détermination de la profondeur moyenne du profil (ISO 13473-1:2019, Version corrigée 2021-06)

Le présent document décrit une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la profondeur moyenne de la macrotexture de la surface d'un revêtement (voir Article 3) en mesurant le profil de cette surface et en calculant la profondeur de texture à partir de ce profil. Cette technique est conçue pour fournir une valeur de la profondeur moyenne de la macrotexture du revêtement uniquement et est considérée comme insensible aux caractéristiques de microtexture et d'uni du revêtement.
L'objectif du présent document est de proposer une procédure reconnue à l'échelle internationale permettant de déterminer la profondeur de texture de la surface d'un revêtement qui soit une alternative à la méthode volumétrique traditionnelle à la tache (qui utilise généralement du sable ou des microbilles de verre) et qui donne des valeurs de profondeur de texture comparables. A cette fin, le présent document décrit une procédure de filtrage conçue pour donner la meilleure représentation possible de la profondeur de texture déterminée avec la méthode volumétrique [13].
Les profilomètres modernes utilisés sont presque tous du type sans contact (par exemple à laser ou lumière à fente pour n'en citer que quelques-uns) et le présent document concerne principalement ce type de capteurs. Toutefois, cela n'exclut pas l'application de certaines parties du présent document à d'autres types de profilomètre.
La série des normes ISO 13473 a été préparée pour répondre à un besoin identifié au moment de l'élaboration de la norme décrivant les spécifications des surfaces d'essai pour le mesurage du bruit émis par les véhicules routiers (voir ISO 10844:2014[6]). Les mesurages de la profondeur de la macrotexture, conformément au présent document ne conviennent généralement pas pour spécifier des conditions d'essai relatives aux mesurages du bruit occasionné par les véhicules ou le trafic routiers, mais ont des applications limitées comme supplément en conjonction avec d'autres façons de spécifier un revêtement de surface.
Il convient d'utiliser la présente méthode d'essai pour déterminer la profondeur moyenne du profil (PMP) de la surface d'un revêtement. Cette profondeur moyenne du profil peut être transformée en une valeur permettant d'évaluer la profondeur de la macrotexture selon la méthode volumétrique à la tâche. Elle est applicable soit pour des essais sur le terrain, soit pour des essais en laboratoire sur des échantillons de revêtement. Quand on combine les valeurs de la profondeur de la macrotexture obtenues par la présente méthode à d'autres essais physiques, on peut les utiliser pour évaluer les caractéristiques d'adhérence du revêtement (voir par exemple la Référence [15]), estimer les caractéristiques du bruit et évaluer l'adéquation des matériaux de pavage ou des techniques de finition.
Cette méthode ainsi que d'autres mesurages comme les mesurages de la porosité ou de la microtexture, quand il est possible de les effectuer, peuvent également servir à déterminer la qualité des revêtements.
Le présent document est adapté au mesurage de la texture des revêtements de chaussée et n'est pas destinée à d'autres applications. La forme, la taille et la distribution des granulats sont des caractéristiques de la texture de surface qui ne sont pas traitées dans la présente norme. Cette méthode n'a pas pour objectif de déterminer toutes les caractéristiques de la texture de surface d'un revêtement. En particulier, des précautions doivent être prises lors de l'interprétation des r

Karakterizacija teksture vozišča z uporabo profilov površine - 1. del: Ugotavljanje povprečne globine profila (ISO 13473-1:2019, popravljena verzija 2021-06)

Ta dokument opisuje preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje povprečne globine makrostrukture površine vozišča (glej točko 3) z merjenjem profila površine in izračunom globine teksture
na podlagi tega profila. Tehnika je zasnovana tako, da podaja povprečno vrednost globine zgolj
makroteksture vozišča ter se obravnava kot neobčutljiva za mikroteksturo vozišča in lastnosti neravnosti.
Namen tega dokumenta je omogočiti razpoložljivost mednarodno priznanega postopka za ugotavljanje globine teksture površine vozišča, ki je alternativa tradicionalno uporabljani tehniki z volumetričnimi zaplatami (običajno s peskom ali steklenimi kroglicami) in podaja primerljive vrednosti globine teksture. V skladu s tem namenom ta dokument opisuje postopke filtriranja, ki so zasnovani tako, da zagotavljajo najboljši možen prikaz globin teksture na podlagi metode z volumetrično zaplato [13].
Sodobni merilniki profilov, ki so v uporabi, so skoraj v celoti brezstični (npr. laser, svetlobna reža, svetlobni trak) in ta dokument je namenjen predvsem tej vrsti merilnikov. Vendar to ne izključuje uporabe njegovih delov za druge vrste merilnikov profilov.
Ta skupina standardov ISO 13473 je bila pripravljena zaradi potrebe, ugotovljene pri določanju preskusne površine za merjenje hrupa vozil (glej ISO 10844:2014[6]). Meritve globine makroteksture v skladu s tem dokumentom na splošno niso primerne za določanje preskusnih pogojev za meritve hrupa vozil ali prometa, vendar se lahko omejeno uporabljajo kot dodatek v povezavi z drugimi načini določanja površine.
Ta preskusna metoda je primerna za ugotavljanje povprečne globine profila (MPD) površine vozišča. Ta povprečna globina profila se lahko preoblikuje v količino, ki omogoča oceno globine makroteksture v skladu z metodo z volumetrično zaplato. Uporablja se za terenske in laboratorijske preskuse na vzorcih vozišč. Pri uporabi v povezavi z drugimi fizičnimi preskusi se lahko vrednosti globine makroteksture,
izpeljane iz te preskusne metode, uporabijo za ocenjevanje značilnosti torne sposobnosti vozišča (glej npr. sklic [15]), značilnosti hrupa in primernosti materialov za vozišča ali tehnik končne obdelave vozišč.
Metoda se lahko skupaj z drugimi meritvami (kadar je to primerno), kot so meritve poroznosti ali mikroteksture, uporablja za oceno kakovosti vozišč.
Ta dokument je prilagojen za merjenje teksture vozišča in ni namenjen za druge vrste uporabe.
Oblika, velikost in porazdelitev delcev agregata vozišča so lastnosti teksture površine,
ki v tem postopku niso obravnavane. Metoda ni namenjena temu, da bi podala popolno oceno
lastnosti teksture površine vozišča. Do težav lahko pride zlasti pri razlagi rezultata,
če se metoda nanaša na porozne površine ali na površine z utori (glej dodatek B).
OPOMBA: Drugi mednarodni standardi, ki obravnavajo metode profiliranja površin, vključujejo npr.
sklice [1], [2] in [3]. Čeprav to v njih ni jasno navedeno, se uporabljajo predvsem za merjenje površinske obdelave (mikroteksture) kovinskih površin in se predvidoma ne uporabljajo za vozišča.
