The values given in brackets are for information only.NOTE 1This test method is equivalent to ISO 3537 in the measure-ment of resistance to abrasion in Section 7, but is not equivalent toISO 3537 in any other measurement or section.

6、 This test method is notequivalent to ISO 9352, and results cannot be directly compared betweenthe two methods.NOTE 2This test method is similar to ANSI/SAE Z26.1, Test 17.NOTE 3Prior attempts to employ the Taber Abraser for volume lossdeterminations of various plastics2have been unsuccessful becaus

Insuffi-cient agreement among the participating laboratories has rendered the useof volume loss procedure inadvisable as an ASTM test method.NOTE 4For determining the resistance to abrasion of organic coatingsby weight loss, ref

Significance and Use4.1 Transparent plasti

It is the purpose of this test method to provide ameans of estimating the resistance of such materials to this typeand degree of abras

19、ion.4.2 Although this test method does not provide fundamentaldata, it is suitable for grading materials relative to this type ofabrasion in a manner which correlates with service.4.3 Comparison of interlaboratory data or the specificationof a “haze” value has no significance if the hazemeterrequire

20、ments given in 5.4 are not used. This is because lightdiffused from the surface of a Taber track is scattered at anarrow angle (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) while light diffused internallyby a specimen is scattered at a wide angle. In many hazemeters,when a diaphragm is inserted to limit the light beam to the

21、width of the abraded track, the specular beam at the exit portbecomes smaller. The dark annulus will then be greater than the0.023 6 0.002 rad (1.3 6 0.1) requirements of Test MethodD 1003. Since a large percentage of the narrow-angle forward-scattered light will not impinge on the sphere wall, “haz

22、e”readings become smaller. For hazemeters that have not beenproperly adjusted, the magnitude of this reduction is dependentboth on the integrating sphere diameter and the reduction of theentrance beam.4.4 For many materials, there may be a specification thatrequires the use of this test method, but

23、with some proceduralmodifications that take precedence when adhering to thespecification. Therefore, it is advisable to refer to that materialspecification before using this test method. Table 1 of Classi-fication System D 4000 lists theASTM materials standards thatcurrently exist.4.5 For some mater

24、ials, abrasion tests utilizing the Taberabraser may be subject to variation due to changes in theabrasive characteristics of the wheel during testing.4.5.1 Depending on abradant type and test specimen, thewheel surface may change (that is, become clogged) due to thepick up of coating or other materi

25、als from test specimens andmust be cleaned at frequent intervals.4.5.2 The type of material being tested and the number oftest cycles being run is known to sometimes influence thetemperature of the running surface of the wheel with an affecton the final haze measurement. To reduce any variability du

26、e tothis temperature effect, stabilize the wheels surface tempera-ture prior to performing actual measurements. This shall beaccomplished by conducting multiple refacings on an ST-11refacing stone, followed by a test on the sample material to betested (with results to be discarded).5. Apparatus5.1 A
