- Features
- Issuing Committee
- Content
- This test method provides stakeholders (runway deicing chemical manufacturers, deicing/anti-icing chemical operators and airport authorities) with relative ice undercutting capacity of runway deicing chemicals, by measuring the area of ice undercut pattern as a function of time. Such runway deicing chemicals are often also used on taxiways.This test method does not quantitatively measure the theoretical or extended time of ice undercutting capability of ready-to-use runway deicing/anti-icing chemicals in liquid or solid form.
- Content
- This test method, for liquid and solid deicing/anti-icing chemicals, offers a quantitative procedure to evaluate the ice undercut as a function of the time and temperature by such deicing/anti-icing chemical and is based on the SHRP H-205.6- MODIFIED FOR AIRPORT APPLICATION (draft April 17/02) Test Method for Ice Undercutting by Liquid Deicing Chemicals (or Solids).
