ASTM E1551-93a(1998) - 1.1.1998

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for a special purpose, smooth-tread standard tire for measuring tire-pavement friction forces. The tire is utilized on fixed braking slip continuous friction measuring equipment such as the Runway Friction Tester, Surface Friction Tester, or BV-11 Skiddometer Trailer.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
