Method of polishing specimens prior to the measurement of slip and skid resistance

CEN TS 12633 describes a laboratory method for polishing paving units using a flat-bed polishing machine prior to the measurement of slip and skid resistance to evaluate the durability of this characteristic. This Technical Specification may not be applicable to profiled paving units: for these types of units the method of polishing does not reflect the polishing in practice.

Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Griffigkeitsbeiwertes vor und nach Polierung

Diese Technische Spezifikation beschreibt ein Laborverfahren zum Polieren von Pflastereinheiten unter Einsatz einer Flachbettpoliermaschine vor der Bestimmung des Griffigkeitsbeiwertes zur Beurteilung der Dauerhaftigkeit dieser Eigenschaft. Es kann sein, dass diese Technische Spezifikation auf profilierte Pflastereinheiten nicht anwendbar ist: für diese Arten von Einheiten spiegelt das Polieren nicht das Polieren wider, das in der Praxis auftritt.

Méthode de détermination de la valeur de résistance au dérapage/à la glissance d'unités de pavage polies ou non polies

La présente Spécification technique décrit une méthode de laboratoire de polissage d’unités de pavage au moyen d'une machine de polissage à plat préalable à la mesure de la  résistance à la glissance et au dérapage afin d'évaluer la durabilité de cette caractéristique. La présente Spécification technique ne peut  être applicable aux unités de pavage profilées : pour ces types d'unités, la méthode de polissage ne reflète pas le polissage dans la pratique.

Metoda poliranja preskušancev pred merjenjem odpornosti proti drsenju

Standard CEN TS 12633 opisuje laboratorijsko metodo poliranja tlakovcev z uporabo polirnega stroja pred merjenjem odpornosti proti drsenju, da se oceni trajnost te lastnosti. Te tehnične specifikacije ni treba uporabiti za profilirane tlakovce: za te vrste tlakovcev metoda poliranja ne odraža poliranja v praksi.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 10 September 2013 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

Introduction
Health and safety aspects
WARNING: The application of emery polishing agents during the course of the operations described in this
Technical Specification can generate particles that could be injurious to health. It is essential to ensure that
appropriate precautions are taken, e.g. the use of dust masks and/or dust extracting facilities. It is also essential to
ensure that the equipment is electrically safe in wet test conditions.

This Technical Specification describes a laboratory method for polishing paving units using a flat-bed polishing
machine prior to the measurement of slip and skid resistance to evaluate the durability of this characteristic. This
Technical Specification may not be applicable to profiled paving units: for these types of units the method of
polishing does not reflect the polishing in practice.

1 sample holder 5 emery hoppers with adjustable conveyors

2 sample 6 lap wheel
3 adjustable mass 7 rubber annulus
4 water supply
Figure 1 — Flat-bed polishing machine
a) a machined, flat circular cast iron or steel grinding lap not less than (600 ± 3) mm in diameter, which can be
rotated in a horizontal plane at a speed of (29 ± 1) r/min;
b) a flat smooth-surfaced natural rubber annulus of (600 ± 3) mm external diameter, approximately (320 ± 3) mm
internal diameter and a thickness of (9 ± 1) mm fixed to the upper surface.
The rubber annulus shall have a hardness from 60 to 75 IRHD in accordance with ISO 48. It shall be covered by a
certificate of conformity from the manufacturer which includes the date of manufacture.
It should be stored in the dark at a temperature in the range 5 °C to 25 °C and should be conditioned by bringing to
a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C throughout it mass before fixing to the grinding plate. The annulus can be used as long
as the hardness remains in the specification.
If glue is used to attach the annulus to the grinding plate, care should be taken to ensure it does not affect the
hardness of the rubber.
c) two adjustable metal holders capable of loosely holding in place specimens conforming to Clause 6;
d) means of locating, two specimens within the two holders according to the following configuration:
— with the centre points of their outer edges (270 ± 1) mm from the centre of the lap;
— positioned diametrically opposite to each other;
— with their long sides lying in the direction of rotation of the lap.
The specimens shall be free to move in a vertical plane but be restrained from moving in the horizontal plane.

e) means to ensure that the required load can be applied evenly at the centre of each test specimen and which
can move in a vertical direction;
f) weights which permit uniform loading of the test specimen against the surface of the rubber annulus and
which, including test specimen, tray (if used) and adjustable weight, will provide a contact stress of (2 250 ±
50) N/m² over the area of the final prepared contact surface;
NOTE This stress corresponds to a total mass of 2,924 kg for an area of 150 mm × 85 mm.
g) separate mechanisms to feed corn emery and emery flour and a means to feed water.
