Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Abrasion Resistance (Rotary Drum Abrader)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Abrasion resistance is a performance factor of paramount importance for many rubber products, such as tires, conveyor belts, power transmission belts, hoses, footwear, and floor covering. A test capable of measuring resistance to abrasion of rubber, including uniformity of wear behavior under abrasive/frictional service conditions is therefore highly desirable.

5.2 This test method may be used to estimate the relative abrasion resistance of different rubbers. Since conditions of abrasive wear in service are complex and vary widely, no direct correlation between this accelerated test and actual performance can be assumed.

5.3 This test method is suitable for comparative testing, quality control, specification compliance testing, referee purposes, and research and development work.
