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 skid resistance of a surface using a stationary device.

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 Pendelarm 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 rauhe Oberflächenbeschaffenheit (über 1,2 mm nach dem volumetrischen Verfahren) 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 - Méthodes d'essai - Partie 4: Méthode de mesurage de l'adhérence d'une surface - Essai au pendule

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

EN 13036-4:2003 (E)3ForewordThis document EN 13036-4:2003 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 227 “Road materials”,the secretariat of which is held by DIN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identicaltext or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawnat the latest by February 2004.This European Standard is one of a series of standards as listed below:EN 13036-1, Road and airfield surface characteristics — Test methods — Part 1: Measurement of pavementsurface macrotexture depth using a volumetric patch technique.prEN 13036-2, Road and airfield surface characteristics — Test methods — Part 2: Procedure fordetermination of skid resistance of a pavement surface.EN 13036-3, Road and airfield surface characteristics — Test methods — Part 3: Measurement of pavementsurface horizontal drainability.EN 13036-4, Road and airfield surface characteristics — Test methods — Part 4: Method for measurement ofslip/skid resistance of a surface — The pendulum test.prEN (WI 00227131)-5, Road longitudinal evenness — Definition (and calculation methods) of the longitudinalevenness indices.prEN (WI 00227132)-6, Road longitudinal evenness — Profilometric test methods.EN 13036-7, Road and airfield surface characteristics — Test methods — Part 7: Irregularity measurement ofpavement courses — the straightedge test.Annex A is normative. Annexes B, C and D are informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.1 ScopeThis European Standard describes a method for determining the slip/skid resistance of a surface using adevice which remains stationary at the test location. The slip/skid resistance is measured by means of apendulum arm.The method provides a measure of the slip/skid resistance properties of a surface either in the field or in thelaboratory.This method measures the slip/skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0,01 m2). Thisshould be considered when deciding its applicability to a surface which may have non-homogeneous surfacecharacteristics, e.g. containing ridges or grooves, or is rough textured (exceeding 1,2 mm patch test).NOTEAs the results from this test are taken at one small location, the results cannot be compared with results fromdevices e.g. mobile devices, that measure the skid resistance over a long length of a surface.SIST EN 13036-4:2004

For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply tothis European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references thelatest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).ISO 48, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of hardness (hardness between 10 IRHD and100 IRHD).ISO 7619, Rubber — Determination of indentation hardness by means of pocket hardness meters.ISO 4662, Rubber — Determination of rebound resilience of vulcanizates.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.3.1slip/skid resistanceproperty of the trafficked surface which limits the relative movement between the contact patch of pedestrianfootwear (slip) or a vehicle tyre (skid) and the surfaceNOTE 1Loss of slip/skid resistance leads to loss of control by the pedestrian/driver with consequent increase in therisk of falling/crashes.NOTE 2There are numerous factors which contribute to slip/skid resistance, including the tyre pressure, contact area,tread pattern and rubber composition of the tyre or sole; the alignment, texture and frictional characteristics of the surface;the vehicle speed; the weather conditions prior to testing, i.e. wet/dry.NOTE 3Slip/skid resistance is not a constant but varies with climate and traffic and the effect of these on thecharacteristics of the surface material itself.3.2frictionresistance to relative motion between two bodies in contact. The frictional force is the force acting tangentiallyin the contact area3.3Pendulum Test Value (PTV)loss of energy as the standard rubber coated slider assembly slides across the test surface and provides astandardised value of slip/skid resistance4 SafetyWhen carrying out the test in the field, the equipment and operator will form a stationary obstruction. Adequatesafety measures shall be in place to maintain a safe working area in accordance with regulations.5 PrincipleThe Pendulum Tester incorporates a spring loaded slider made of a standard rubber attached to the end of apendulum. On releasing the pendulum from a horizontal position, the loss of energy as the slider assemblypasses over the test surface is measured by the reduction in length of the upswing using a calibrated scale.SIST EN 13036-4:2004



EN 13036-4:2003 (E)56 Test equipment6.1The pendulum test shall incorporate the essential features given below and as illustrated in Figure 1:¾ A spring-loaded slider assembly as specified in 6.3. It shall be mounted on the end of a pendulum arm sothat the sliding edge is (514 ± 6) mm from the axis of rotation.¾ Means for setting the support column of the equipment vertical.¾ A base of sufficient mass to ensure the equipment remains stable during the test.¾ Means of raising and lowering the axis of suspension of the pendulum arm so that the slider can¾ swing clear of the surface of the specimen, and¾ be set to traverse a surface over a fixed length of (126 ± 1) mm. A gauge as shown in Figure 2 hasbeen found suitable.¾ Means of holding and releasing the pendulum arm so that it falls freely from a horizontal position.¾ A pointer of nominal length 300 mm, balanced about the axis of suspension, indicating the position of thependulum arm throughout its forward swing and moving over the circular scale. The mass of the pointershall be not more than 85 g.¾ The friction in the pointer mechanism shall be adjustable so that, with the pendulum arm swinging freelyfrom a horizontal position, the outward tip of the pointer may be brought to rest on the forward swing ofthe arm at a point (10 ± 1) mm below the horizontal. This is the 0 reading.¾ A circular scale (C scale) as described in Table A.1, calibrated for a nominal sliding length of 126 mm ona flat surface marked from 0 to 150 at intervals of five. Tests in this mode of operation give the PTVdirectly.¾ A circular scale (F scale) as described in Table A.2, calibrated for a nominal sliding length of 76 mmsliding length on a flat surface marked from 0 to 1 at intervals of 0,05 units, may also be present. This isused for a number of laboratory tests as described in the relevant Standards. The PTV may be estimatedby calculation.¾ All bearings and working parts shall be enclosed as far as possible, and all materials used shall betreated to prevent corrosion under wet conditions.6.2The mass of the pendulum arm, including the slider assembly, shall be (1,50 ± 0,03) kg. The centre ofgravity shall be on the axis of the arm at a distance of (410 ± 5) mm from the axis of rotation.6.3The wide slider assembly (see Figure 3) shall consist of a slider rubber (76,2 ± 0,5) mm wide,(25,4 ± 1,0) mm long (in the direction of swing) and (6,35 ± 0,5) mm thick and an aluminium backing.

Where this is not possible, the test may be carried out atany angle to the direction of traffic to enable the gradient criterion to be satisfied. On surfaces bearing aregular pattern such as ridged or brushed concrete, grooved asphalt or paving blocks, tests should be madewith the slider operating at an angle of approximately 80 degrees to the ridges, grooves or joints in pavers.9.1.3Measure the temperature of the wetted test surface and the slider to the nearest whole number. Thetest cannot be carried out if the surface temperature is outside the range 1 C to 40 C.9.1.4Wherever possible the readings shall be taken on the C Scale using the wide slider. This determinesthe PTV directly. On non-homogeneous surfaces where a plane test surface can only be achieved of sufficientsize to use the narrow slider, this may be used reading on the F Scale. An estimation of the PTV can beobtained by calculation.9.2 Measurements in the laboratory9.2.1Flat laboratory test specimens shall have minimum dimensions 20 mm wider than the slider and15 mm longer than the sliding length.
