Abstract |
This report describes results from laboratory test conditions to collect and characterize tire wear particulates as produced by the operation of passenger car tires. The tests were performed on a single radial tire (DR78-14) and a single bias tire using the capabilities of the Calspan Tire Research Facility (TIRF) that features a flat test surface consisting of a coated steel belt that simulates the friction properties of actual road surfaces. Tires were also tested under typical load and inflation pressure conditions. The general conclusions were: (1) Airborne rubber particulates were produced in an extremely small quantity, (2) The bulk of the collected airborne particulates were identified as contaminant debris, (3) Tests on the radial tire produced a particle size distribution with a medium particle diameter about one-half of that produced by identical tests on the bias tire. |
