    This document provides the scope, materials, apparatus, and procedure for determining the texture depth of carriageways using the sand patch test. The sand used must pass through 600 micron and 300 micron sieves but not a 150 micron sieve. The required apparatus includes a 25 mL measuring cylinder, wooden disc with rubber facing, ruler, funnel, straight edge, and brushes. The test procedure specifies cleaning a 300 mm square test location, filling it with sand from the funnel, leveling the sand, and measuring its diameter to determine texture depth.

    DETERMINATION OF THE TEXTURE DEPTH OF
    CARRIAGEWAYS

    Scope 10.1.1 This method covers the determination of the texture depth of carriageways
    by the sand patch test.

    Materials 10.1.2 The following material is required:

    Dry natural sand, with a rounded particle shape, which has been washed
    and then screened such that it meets the grading stated in Table 10.1.1.


    Table 10.1.1: Grading of sand

    BS test
    sieve
    Percentage by
    mass passing
    600 m 100
    300 m 95 - 100
    150 m 0 - 6


    Apparatus 10.1.3 The following apparatus is required:

    (a) A soft brush.

    (b) A robust measuring cylinder having an internal diameter of 20 2
    mm and a flat top surface such that its internal volume is 25 0.1
    mL.

    (c) A flat wooden disc of 65 2 mm diameter with a 1.5 mm minimum
    thickness hard rubber disc attached to one face and a handle fixed
    to the other face.

    (d) A steel rule calibrated to 1 mm.

    (e) A suitable windshield.

    (f) A funnel with an outlet tube at least 100 mm long with a bore of
    between 4 mm and 6 mm, and capable of accepting a volume of at
    least 200 mL.

    (g) A steel straight edge for screeding off the measuring cylinder.

    (h) A steel-wire brush.

    Procedure 10.1.4 The procedure shall be as follows:

    (a) The test location shall be at least 300 mm square. It shall be vigorously
    brushed ten times in two directions at right angles using the steel wire
    brush, and then dried and swept clean with the soft brush.
