Road and Airfield Surface Characteristics - Test Methods - Part 6: Measurement of Transverse and Longitudinal Profiles in the Evenness and Megatexture Wavelength Ranges
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13036-6 standard provides guidelines for the measurement and classification of transverse and longitudinal profiles in the evenness and megatexture wavelength ranges on road and airfield surfaces. The standard defines the minimum requirements and criteria for profiling devices used to measure the evenness of pavements. It also includes recommendations for the verification and calibration of these devices.
The standard is applicable to highway agencies, airfield authorities, equipment manufacturers, and other organizations involved in the characterization of surface conditions. It allows them to define the capabilities of survey equipment used to collect data on surface profiles. The measurement of evenness can be performed using static or dynamic devices. The standard covers high-speed, low-speed, and stationary equipment.
It is important to note that dynamic measurements are performed while the device is moving in the normal traffic flow at an accepted minimum speed or higher speeds. This standard aims to ensure consistency and accuracy in the measurement of surface profiles, which is vital for the maintenance and improvement of road and airfield surfaces.
