Standard Requirement of Road Studs

1. Construction Requirement
1. The road stud shall be manufactured of materials with adequate
chemical, water, and UV resistance.
2. The height and width of the road stud shall not exceed 20.3 mm
(0.80 in.) and 130 mm (5.1 in.) respectively.
3. The angle between the face of the road stud and the base shall be
no greater than 45°.
4. The base of the road stud shall be flat within 1.3 mm (0.05 in.).
5. The base of the road stud shall be substantially free from gloss or
substances that may reduce its bond to adhesive.
2. Performance Requirement
1. The coefficient of luminous intensity of road studs shall be not less
than the values mentioned in the table below.
2. The adhesive bond used for the installation of the road stud must
be of superior quality and the failure of road studs sue to adhesive
strength must be 1.5 times lesser than the failure of road studs.

3. Physical Requirement
1. Flexural Strength – The flexural test is carried out for the
designated F road Markers withstand 909 kg (2000 lb) without
breakage.
2. Compressive Strength – The road stud shall support a load of
2727 kg (6000 lb) without breakage or significant deformation (3.3
mm) of the road stud.
3. Lens Impact Strength – When impacted the face of the lens shall
show no more than two radial cracks longer than 6.4 mm (0.25 in.).
4. Temperature Cycling – When subjected to temperature cycling
there shall be no cracking or delamination.
