Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 abrasion resistance, nthe amount of abrasive re-quired to wear through a unit film thickness of the coating.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Abrasive is allowed to
10、fall from a specified heightthrough a guide tube onto a coated panel until the substratebecomes visible. The amount of abrasive per unit film thick-ness is reported as the abrasion resistance of the coating on thepanel. Silica sand or silicon carbide may be used, as specified.5. Significance and Use
11、5.1 Silica sand produces a slower rate of abrasion fororganic coatings than that provided by silicon carbide. Forsome types of coatings, it may also provide greater differen-tiation.5.2 The abrasion resistance scales produced by the twomethods differ, but the methods provide approximately thesame ra
12、nkings of coatings for abrasion resistance.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 onPaint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and are the directresponsibility of Subcommittee D01.23 on Physical Properties of Applied PaintFilms.Current edition approved Dec.

Apparatus and Materials6.1 Abrasion Tester, as illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.A
18、gatefor starting the flow of abrasive is located near the top of theguide tube. It consists of a metal disk inserted into a slit in theside of the guide tube with a collar covering the slit. The guidetube shall be firmly supported in a vertical position over asuitable receptacle, which shall contain
19、 a support for holdingthe coated panel at an angle of 45 to the vertical. The openingof the tube is directly above the area to be abraded and thedistance from the tube to the coated surface face at the nearestpoint is 25 mm (1 in.) when measured in the vertical direction.The base of the apparatus sh
20、all be fitted with adjusting screwsfor properly aligning the equipment.6.2 Standard AbrasiveNatural silica sand from the St.Peters or Jordan sandstone deposits (located in the centralUnited States) shall be considered standard when graded asfollows after 5 min of continuous sieving.

22、.NOTE 1The abrading qualities of sand obtained from different sourcesmay differ slightly even though the sand meets the sieve requirements.Therefore, for maximum precision of test results, purchaser and sellershould use sand from the same source.7. Test Specimens7.1 Apply uniform coatings of the mat

Prepare aminimum of two coated panels for the material.7.2 Cure the coated panels under the conditions of humidityand temperature agreed upon between the purchaser and seller.NOTE 2The coatings should be applied in accordanc
24、e with PracticesD823, or as agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller.NOTE 3The thickness of the dry coatings should be measured inaccordance with Test Methods D1005 or D7091.NOTE 4While the minimum of two coated panels is acceptable,evaluating three or more panels per material will provide g

26、t ApparatusD968 1628. Standardization8.1 Pour a quantity of standard sand into the funnel andexamine the sand stream falling from the lower end of theguide tube. Align the apparatus by means of the adjustingscrews in the base until the inner concentrated core of the sandstream falls in the center of
27、 the flow when viewed at twopositions at 90 to each other. Introduce a measured volume ofsand (2000 6 10 mL is a convenient amount) and determinethe time of efflux. The rate of flow shall be 2 L of sand in 21to 23.5 s.8.2 Secure a trial panel in the testing position, as describedin 6.1, and introduc
28、e the sand in increments until a spot 4 mm(532 in.) in diameter is worn through to the base material. Theoverall abraded area shall be elliptical in shape, about 25 mm(1 in.) in width and 30 mm (114 in.) in length. The center of thearea of maximum abrasion shall be on the centerline throughthe longe
29、r axis of the abraded pattern and within 14 to 17 mm(916 to1116 in.) of the top edge. Slight final adjustment of theinstrument may be required to center the abrasion spot in thepattern.8.3 A final check on alignment is made by determining theamount of sand that passes through a 4-mm (532-in.) hole i
30、n ametal panel placed directly under the tube. Place a containerunder the hole in the panel and allow a weighed amount of sandto pass through the tube onto the panel. Weigh the amount ofsand that passed through the hole into the container. Theapparatus can be considered to be in calibration if the a
31、mountof sand that passed through the hole is 90 to 93 % of theamount of sand that impinged on the panel.9. Conditioning9.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon between purchaser andseller, condition the coated test panels for at least 24 h at 23 62C and 50 6 5 % relative humidity. Conduct the test in thesam
32、e environment or immediately on removal therefrom.10. Procedure10.1 On each coated panel mark three circular areas, eachapproximately 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter, and so arranged thateach can be properly positioned in the panel support of theabrasion tester. Measure the thickness of the coating by Tes
33、tMethods D1005 or D7091 in at least three locations in eacharea. Record the mean of each set of measurements as thethickness of the coating over the respective area.10.2 After conditioning, secure the coated panel in the testeras described in 6.1. Adjust the panel so that one of the markedareas will
34、 be centered under the guide tube.10.3 Pour standard sand, measured volumetrically, into thefunnel. Withdraw the gate and allow the sand to flow throughthe guide tube and impinge on the coated panel. Collect thesand in a container located at the bottom of the tester. Repeatthis operation until a 4-m
35、m (532-in.) diameter area of thecoating has worn through to the substrate. A convenientincrement of sand to employ during the test is 2000 6 10 mL.As the end-point is approached, increments of 200 6 2mLmay be introduced into the funnel.NOTE 5When the gate is withdrawn from the guide tube, make certa
36、inthat a collar covers the slit opening in the tube.10.4 Abrade each of the remaining marked-off areas of thecoated panel as outlined in 10.2.NOTE 6Check the alignment of the guide tube at frequent intervals toensure that the concentrated inner core of the sand stream is falling in thecenter of the
37、flow.NOTE 7After 25 passes through the apparatus, resieve the sand witha No. 30 sieve to remove fines. Replace the sand after 50 passes.10.5 Repeat 10.1 10.4 on at least one additional panelcoated with the material under test.11. Calculation11.1 For each area of the coated panel tested, calculate th
38、eabrasion resistance, A, in litres per mil from the followingequation:Avolume5 V/T (1)where:V = volume of abrasive used, L (to one decimal place) andT = thickness of coating, mils (to one decimal place).11.2 Calculate the mean of the abrasion resistance valuesobtained for different areas of the coat
39、ed panel and the meanvalue of the replicate panels.12.

Precision
41、613.1 On the basis of an interlaboratory test of this testmethod in which three laboratories tested four types of coatingsdiffering in their abrasion resistance, the within-laboratorycoefficient of variation was found to be 9 % with 22 df and thebetween-laboratories coefficient of variation 35 % wit
42、h 7 df.Based on these coefficients, the following criteria should beused for judging the acceptability of results at the 95 %confidence level.13.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of threeruns, obtained by the same operator should be consideredsuspect if they differ by more than 25 % of the
43、ir mean value.13.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of threeruns, obtained by operators in different laboratories should beconsidered suspect if they differ by more than 118 % of theirmean value.6Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requ
