As part of the evaluation of the potential use of the international friction index as the standard for the reporting of friction measurements, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) conducted an assessment of the precision of the dynamic friction tester (DFT) and circular track meter (CTM) test methods. The FDOT CTM equipment and DFT equipment were compared with similar portable equipment owned and operated by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) in an attempt to quantify both the repeatability and the reproducibility of the test data obtained. The FDOT portable equipment was mobilized to Auburn, Alabama, for side-by-side testing with the NCAT equipment. This paper summarizes the results of an assessment of the precision of the DFT and CTM equipment on 10 different test surfaces at the NCAT Pavement Test Track. Tests with DFT and CTM were performed at five different locations within each of the 10 different test sections by using both NCAT and FDOT equipment. On the basis of the results of this comparison testing, proposed precision statements are presented for both the repeatability and the reproducibility of the data for the respective pieces of equipment. Correlation relationships are also presented for the portable equipment and the full-scale equipment currently used by FDOT and others.
