M128-02 Specifications for Rubber Cutting Edges for Snowplows~5.pdf

This document is a specification document from the State of Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Highways in Springfield, specifically addressing rubber cutting edges for snow plows, with a serial number of M128-02. The specification outlines detailed requirements for rubber cutting edges used in snow plow equipment, effective February 1, 2002, and superseding a previous specification from March 1, 1988.

The technical specifications provide precise guidelines for material composition, requiring Black SBR rubber compounds that conform to specific ASTM standards, including D 2000 M4AA614 and other referenced testing protocols. The document mandates that cutting edges must meet dimensional requirements set by the Illinois Department of Transportation, with allowable tolerances in accordance with standard commercial practices. Key requirements include inspection protocols, marking specifications (3-inch lettering or numbering), and hole punching standards to ensure compatibility with existing snow plow equipment. The specification is comprehensive in detailing material properties, manufacturing expectations, and quality control measures for these critical snow plow components.
