Title
Standard Test Method for Measurement of Retroreflective Pavement Marking Materials with CEN-Prescribed Geometry Using a Portable Retroreflectometer
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2005
Scope:
This test method covers measurement of the retroreflective properties
of horizontal pavement
marking materials containing retroreflecting beads, such as traffic
stripes and surface symbols,
using a portable retroreflectometer that can be placed on the road
delineation to measure the
retroreflection at a prescribed geometry.
NOTE 1 - The restriction to bead based materials is for the purpose of
ensuring a sufficiently
gradual optical response function (from points of the source aperture
to points of the receiver
aperture) to allow generous sized instrument source and receiver
apertures.
The entrance and observation angles of the retroreflectometer affect
the readings. As specified by
the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the entrance and
observation angles shall be
88.76° and 1.05°, respectively.
This test method is intended to be used for field measurement of
pavement markings but may be used
to measure the performance of materials on sample panels before
placing the marking material in the
field.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
