Friction & Texture Testing<br />

Dynamic Friction Test<br />

ASTM E-1911<br />

• Good Repeatability<br />

3 replicates OK<br />

• Calculate IFI<br />

Friction & Texture<br />

Reasonable correlation<br />

with skid trailers<br />

Portable, easy-to-use<br />

Field friction testing (International Friction Index from the DFT and CTM) was<br />

repeatable, and the results consistent. Initial testing included six individual runs of<br />

each test per test section. Because of good repeatability, this was reduced to three<br />

repeatable runs. Loose sand must be swept before running DFT and CTM tests, or<br />

it will increase apparent surface texture, giving erroneously high calculated IFI<br />

measurements.<br />
