Principle Chippings are collected in three calibrated boxes laid on the road in front of the chipping spreader, in order to determine the rate of spread. When each box is laid flat, with its lid removed, it serves as a tray to collect the chippings from a known area. With its lid replaced, each box is stood on its end and used to directly measure the bulk volume of the collected chippings. Alternatively, each box is used to collect chippings for subsequent weighing, NOTE method of determining the shoulder to shoulder rate of spread of chippings is included in annex A. 5.2. Apparatus 5.2.1 Box for measuring the rate of spread of chippings Rectangular box, for measuring the rate of spread of chippings, with a rigid, sliding, transparent graduated lid, as shown in Figure 2. Dimensions in millimetres. —o ‘graduated id Support pin Figure 2— The chipping rate of spread box (Dimensions shown are all internal, with a tolerance of + 2 mm) The lid shall either have 5 mm graduations or be directly graduated in litres per square metre (5 mm is equivalent to 0,25 /m’). For ease of reading, graduations shall be marked on both of the longer edges of the top of the lid. NOTE The box can be fited with support pins in case it has to be placed on the binder flm. 5.2.2 Portable balance Portable balance, readable to 10 g and of sufficient capacity to weigh both the box and the maximum rate of spread of chippings 5.3 Procedure With its id removed, place each open box flat on its base clear of the wheel tracks of the chipping spreader. Place the major axis approximately parallel to the direction of travel of the chipping spreader. Place the three boxes in three different transverse positions, all within a 30 m length of road. Each open box shall collect those chippings which are spread above it.EN 12272-1:2002 (E) 5.4. Determination of the rate of spread of chippings by volume 5.4.1 Principle When the chipping spreader has passed over the three calibrated boxes, their lids are replaced and each box is stood on its end and taped three times on a hard surface so as to ensure that the top surface of the chippings contained in the box is flat and level. 5.4.2 Expression of results Measure the height of the top surface of the chippings to the nearest § mm or directly record the reading in litres per square metre (Vir) from the graduations marked on the lid of each box to the nearest 0,25 Vm? ie. the bulk volume of the chippings. If the scale on the box is graduated in millimetres, calculate the chipping rate of spread using the following equation: R, =~ (H, +H, + H,)/20=(H, + H, + H,)/60 6) where Ry is the rate of spread of chippings, expressed in lies per square metre (Vm*); 1H, Hhand Hy are the heights, expressed in millimetres (mm), to the top surface of the chippings in the three boxes. If the scale on the box has been graduated in litres per square metre (lim), calculate the chipping rate of spread using the following equation: Ry =(VitV,+Va)/3 © where Ay is the rate of spread of chippings, expressed in litres per square metre (m*); V,, Veand V; are the volumes, expressed in litres per square metre (Vm*). Repeat the test if the proportional range is greater than 0,20 (see 5.5.3). NOTE Itthie recurs, it indicates that a measurement ofthe accuracy of spread can be necessary, see clause 7 5.5 Determination of the rate of spread of chippings by mass 5.5.1 Principle ‘The mass of the chippings collected in each box is determined from the difference between the mass of the box containing the chippings, and its mass when empty. The test result is the average of the masses of chippings determined for each of the three boxes. 5.5.2 Expression of results Calculate the chipping rate of spread using the following equation: 3 (™, +M,+M,) ®EN 12272-1:2002 (E) where Pu is the average rate of spread of chippings by mass, expressed in kilograms per square metre kgm’); My, Meand My are the mass of chippings determined for each of the three boxes, expressed in kilograms 9). Repeat the test if the proportional range is greater than 0,20 (see 5.5.3). NOTE 1 If this recurs it indicates that a measurement of the accuracy of spread may be necessary (see clause 7). NOTE2 To obtain rate of spread of Ain kilograms per square metre (kg/m?) from the rate of spread, Av, expressed in litres pper square metre, Vi), Table 1 may be used as an approximate conversion guide when the particle density of the chippings is between 2 500 kgim® and 3 000 kg/m’.

Principle Binder is collected on a number of sampling devices which are placed side by side on the road surface, across the full width which is to be sprayed, prior to the spraying of the binder. The mass of binder on each device is then determined from the diference between the masses of the device before and after spraying the binder and the arithmetic mean of all these binder masses calculated. This test is also known as the “Determination of the transverse distribution of binder. 6.2 Apparatus 6.2.1 Sampling devices ‘Sampling devices, used for collecting the binder include sampling trays and rectangles of foam, carpet, board or other absorbent material. Each shall be able to collect 0,5 kg/m” to 3 kg/m’ or a minimum of 1,5 x the specified binder rate of spread. Each shall be dimensionally stable and retain an adequate collecting capacity even after being run over by the wheels of the spraying vehicle. Each shall also collect the sprayed binder without any loss, overflow or transfer from one sampling device to the next. For the accurate determination of the rate of spread of binder, the width of each sampling device shall be 100 mm or 80 mm and the length of each device shall be at least 50mm. The minimum sample size shall be 100 mm x 50 mm. These dimensions shall be measured to the nearest 0,2 mm for the 100 mm x 50 mm sample devices and 1 mm for the 100 mm x 200 mm or larger sample devices. NOTE Two typos of device are described in B.1 and 2 but the latter type is not recommended when spraying low Viscosity emulsions. 6.2.2 Portable balance Portable balance, readable to the nearest 0,1 g for 100 mm x 50 mm samples or 0,3 g for 100 mm x 200 mm or larger samples.EN 122/2-1:2002 (E) 6.3 Procedure 6.3.1. Preparation of the test apparatus Clearly number or otherwise identity each sampling device and determine its mass to the nearest 0,1 g in the case ‘of 100 mm x 50 mm sample or 0,3 g for 100 mm x 200 mm or larger sample. If all the sampling devices have a similar mass within a limit deviation of + 0,3 g only one shall be weighed and this value recorded for each of ther. 6.3.2 Location and placement of the apparatus The test site shall be at least 30 m from the start of the spraying. Place the sampling devices transversely on the road surface so that binder is sampled from at least the full width which is to be sprayed. For optimum results, the test shall be carried out when the binder distributor is working at the specified rate of spread using a minimum of 15 sampling devices. 6.3.3 Removal and weighing of the sampling devices ‘After spraying the binder, remove the sampling devices from the road surface as fast as practically possible in order to minimize any loss of volatile substance. Then, within 30 min, determine the mass of each sampling device to the nearest 0,1 g for samples 100 mm x 50 mm or 0,39 for samples 100 mm x 200 mm or larger and record the results. NOTE Care should be taken to ensure that when spray curtains are being used, they are raised to avoid touching the ‘sampling devices. 6.4 Expression of results The sampling devices at each end of the sprayed width which are empty or only partly filled shall be ignored. Those remaining shall total number (see Figure 3). ee ee ee ee ee ee eee N devices with full rate of spread of binder Figure 3 — Example with three spray jets overlapping Calculate the binder mass collected on each sampling device, as follows: M=My-My © Mis the binder mass retained on the sampling device, expressed in kilograms (kg); 13EN 12272-1:2002 (E) ‘Mis the mass of the sampling device after spraying, expressed in kilograms (kg); ‘My, is the mass of the sampling device before spraying, expressed in kilograms (kg).

Each shall be indelibly marked with the unique cell number. 15EN 12272-1:2002 (E) 7.3 Procedure Carry out the test after the chippings have been spread directly onto the road surface, without binder. To obtain an accurate result, the test shall be carried out across the full width of spread of the chippings, placed by the chipping spreader operating at its maximum spreading width. No one shall be allowed to walk or drive on the chippings in the area chosen for the test. Place the frame directly onto the chippings, approximately at right angles to the direction of spreading and at least ‘1m from the location at which the chipping spreading commenced. Collect the chippings from each cell in tur in the picking frame by proceeding as follows: a) Place a suitable metal sheet in the first slot on each side of the picking frame, as shown in Figure 4. These chippings tobe — dis-regaraed |: Figure 4 — Stage 1 b) Dispose of the chippings collected the cell numbered 0" (the incomplete cell). ©) Place a second metal sheot in the second slot on each side of the frame in order to define cell 1 as shown in Figure 5.

Number each element consecutively on the back from 1 to n (see Figure B.7). Figure B.7 — Foam strip Although the foam strips may be rolled up for transportation, they shall not be stored. B.2.3 Procedure B.2.3.1 Place the two strips of kraft paper, to which “formats* of pre-cut foam have been glued, onto the two aluminium strips, with the foam facing upwards, such that the “formats meet at the connected ends with no overlap. Then foid the edges of the paper sheets underneath the aluminium strips (see Figure B.8 left-hand side) and fix them into position using the adhesive tape (see Figure B.8 right-hand side). Figure B.8 — Fastening the foam str in pos B.2.3.2 Then place the entire assembled test strip onto the road surface, which has previously been swept clean, approximately at right angles to the centre line of the road, with the foam facing upwards. Ensure that the section number 1 is located so that it will lie beneath the left hand side of the binder spray bar, as seen by an observer standing facing the approaching sprayer. Ensure that the assembly is held securely in place by an operator standing on each end of the strip. B.2.3.3 Once the spreader has passed, the two operators lift the test strip and keep it steady by pulling at both ends as they carry it to the balance location. (One operator crosses the dressed surface by walking across the undressed area of road which was covered by the test strip, and which now needs to be dressed by hand.) 28EN 12272-1:2002 (E) B.2.3.4 Detach the two strips of aluminium sheet from each other and place them on their respective supports, with the binder side facing upwards. Remove the adhesive tape and cut the perforated edges of the kraft paper which are made for this purpose. Fold the edges over the foam which has been soaked with the binder, so that the identification numbers remain visible. Then detach each section along the perforations and weigh it.
