1、Designation:E1859/E1859M111Standard Test Method forFriction Coefficient Measurements Between Tire andPavement Using a Variable Slip Technique1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1859/E1859M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in
2、 the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorially corrected units of measure formatting in November 2013.1.Scope1.1 This test method
3、 covers the measurement of the longi-tudinal friction coefficient with a measurement device thatimposes braking-slip between a tire and a surface for the fullrange of braking-slip speed values.1.2 This test method utilizes a series of incremental singlemeasurements of friction force on a braked test
4、 wheel as it ispulled over a wetted or contaminated pavement surface.Therotational velocity of the braked wheel is feedback controlledin order to give a predetermined variable slip ratio gradient inaccordance with set program parameters.The test wheel is keptunder a constant static normal load and a
5、t a constant longitu-dinal speed of travel.Its major plane is perpendicular to theroad plane and parallel to its direction of motion.1.3 The values measured represent the friction propertiesobtained with the equipment and procedures stated in this testmethod and do not necessarily agree or correlate
6、 directly withthose obtained by other pavement friction measuring methods.1.4 The values are intended for use in:1.4.1 Evaluating the braking friction forces on a pavementrelative to that of other pavements.1.4.2 Evaluating changes in the braking friction forces of aparticular pavement with the pass
7、age of time.1.4.3 Evaluating the changes in the braking friction force ofa pavement when subjected to polishing wear and loss ofmacrotexture caused by traffic with passage of time.1.4.4 Evaluating changes in the braking friction forces of apavement contaminated with ice,moderate amounts2of slushand
8、snow,pollen,vehicle oil spills and condensates fromvehicle engine exhaust,and deposits from other pollutionsources.1.4.5 Evaluating the braking friction forces of a specimentire on a clean or contaminated pavement.1.5 The friction values reported by this test method areinsufficient to determine the
9、distance required to stop a vehicleon either a dry,wet,or contaminated pavement.They are alsoinsufficient for determining the speed at which control of avehicle would be lost.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineac
10、h system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresp
11、onsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precau-tionary statements are given in Section 6 and Note 4.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3E178 Practice for Deali
