Ice Penetration Test Method for AMS1431 and AMS1435 Runway Deicing/Anti-icing Products
AS6211
This test method provides stakeholders (runway deicing/anti-icing product manufacturers, users, regulators, and airport authorities) with a relative ice penetration capacity of runway deicing/anti-icing product, by measuring the ice penetration as a function of time. Such runway deicing/anti-icing products are often also used on taxiways and other paved areas.
This test method does not quantitatively measure the theoretical or extended time of ice penetration capability of ready-to-use runway deicing/anti-icing product in liquid or solid form.
Rationale: This document has been updated to include modifications in the method proposed in the WG and committee. This include : 3.3.2 Adapted Test Support, 3.3.4 Ice Preparation and opional 3.4.5.1 Measurement using photo analysis.
