Specification:
Manufacturer: Bareiss
Country of manufacture: Germany
Description of test:
The abrasion resistance of elastomers gives a measure of abrasion when exposed to the abrasive body. The amount of wear is determined by reducing the volume of a cylindrical specimen. There are several test methods to simulate the wear process.
Available services:
Measurement of abrasion resistance of tires
Sample preparation:
The test piece is cylindrical with a diameter of 0.16 2 0.2 mm and a thickness of at least 6 mm, which is cut from the plate with a suitable thickness. 3 to 10 pieces of each sample are required. If a sample of suitable thickness is not available, the required part can be obtained by placing several pieces with a thickness of at least 2 mm on top of each other. Sample hardness should be at least 80IRHD.
Applicable standards:
-
DIN ISO 4669
-
NF ISO 4649
-
ASTM D5963
Limitations:
- Relevant results of samples containing cavities or porosity are unreliable.
- Rough surface specimens give less accurate results than flat specimens.
- The test should be performed at least 16 hours after vulcanization or mixing.
