Die Annotation des Normtextes ASTM E274/E274M-24 :

This test method establishes the standard procedure for measuring the skid resistance of paved surfaces by the use of a specified full-scale automotive tire. This test method utilizes a measurement representing the steady-state friction force on a locked test wheel as it is dragged over a wetted pavement surface under constant load and at a constant speed while its major plane is parallel to its direction of motion and perpendicular to the pavement. The values measured represent the frictional properties obtained with the equipment and procedures stated herein. These values are intended for use in evaluating the skid resistance of a pavement relative to that of other pavements or for evaluating changes in the skid resistance of a pavement with the passage of time. They are, however, insufficient to determine the distance required to stop a vehicle on either a wet or a dry pavement. They are also insufficient for determining the speed at which control of a vehicle would be lost, because peak and side force friction are also required for these determinations. The apparatuses required for this method are a vehicle with suitable test wheels (including tire and rim) and braking system, wheel load, force-measuring transducer, torque-measuring transducer, vehicle speed-measuring transducer, signal conditioning and recorder system, and pavement wetting system.
