EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 13036-1 test. This European standard specifies a method for determining the average depth of the pavement surface macrotexture by carefully applying a known volume of material on the surface and then measuring the total area covered.
The technique is designed to provide only an average depth value of the pavement macrotexture and is considered insensitive to the microtexture properties of the pavement. This test method is suitable for field tests to determine the average macrotexture depth of a pavement surface.
This test method is suitable for field tests to determine the average macrotexture depth of a pavement surface. When used in conjunction with other physical tests, the macrotexture depth values obtained from this test method can be used to determine the pavement's slip resistance ability, noise characteristics, and suitability of pavement materials or finishing techniques. When used with other tests, care should be taken to apply all tests in the same place.
Standard materials and test apparatus consist of some uniform material, a container of known volume, a suitable wind shield or shield, brushes for cleaning the surface, a flat disc for spreading the material over the surface, and a ruler or other units of measure. device for determining the area covered by the material. A laboratory balance is also recommended to ensure consistent quantities for each measurement sample.
The test method involves spreading a known volume of material on a clean and dry pavement surface, measuring the area covered, and then calculating the average depth between the bottom of the pavement surface voids and the tops of the surface aggregate particles.
The pavement aggregate particle shape, size, and distribution are surface texture properties not addressed in this method. The method is not intended to provide a complete assessment of the coating surface texture properties. If the method is applied to porous surfaces and deeply grooved surfaces, particular care should be taken in interpreting the result.
