Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Relative Abrasion Resistance by Pico Abrader Method

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This test method may be used to estimate the relative abrasion resistance of subject materials as described in 1.1. No correlation between this accelerated test and service performance is given or implied, due, in part, to the widely varying nature of service conditions.

4.2 The formulas, for which the mixing and curing specifications are given in Annex A1, once prepared, are referred to as calibration compounds. These calibration compounds may be used to determine the performance status of the cutting knives as described in this test method.

4.3 The performance of the cutting knives may also be determined by periodically determining their dimensions as described in 6.1.7.

4.4 The calibration compounds are used as reference standards to which the abrasion resistance, determined by volume loss of a subject material, may be compared.

4.5 Once the resistance to abrasion is established, using this methodology, for a specific material, the results achieved may be used as a basis for future comparative analysis of identical materials, either as agreed upon between laboratories, or between customer and supplier.
