The Mechanical Rocker Test has been published as a provisional test method!
The test method, originally developed by Nebraska DOT more than a decade ago, was validated through Clear Roads research project 18-06 as a low-cost and repeatable method for determining the efficacy of liquid deicers. As a result of this work, all transportation agencies can objectively compare deicers on the market.
The test method is also featured in this month’s issue of APWA Reporter in the article titled, “It Began With a Martini Shaker.”
