ASTM E2133-03(2013)

5.1 This test method establishes procedures for collecting elevation and distance data of longitudinal and transverse profiles on a traveled surface.

5.2 Results of this test are used primarily to:

1.1 This test method describes the measurement of transverse and longitudinal surface profiles on paved road, bridge, and airport surfaces using a rolling inclinometer traveling at walking speed.

1.2 It is designed to (1) quantify the roughness of new pavements and bridge decks; (2) Investigate the effect of various construction methods on surface roughness; (1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
