Standard Test Method for Impact Resistance of Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Materials over a Highway Substrate by Means of a Striker Impacted by a Falling Weight
Also Known As:
The ASTM D8161-17 standard is a test method that evaluates the impact resistance of thermoplastic pavement marking materials over a highway substrate using a striker impacted by a falling weight. The purpose of this test is to determine the material's ability to resist impact under simulated pavement conditions in a laboratory setting. The results of the test can be used to assess the quality of the marking materials or to differentiate them from each other.
Before conducting the test, it is recommended to review Test Methods D5420 and D2794, which provide information on the equipment setup. Precise sample preparation and equipment setup are essential to minimize variability in the test results.
This standard covers the sample preparation over a road-type substrate and follows a methodology similar to the "Gardner Impact" method described in Test Method D5420.
