2、regulations. Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 1.1 Purpose. This standard is used to determine abrasion resistance of materials using a rotary platform tester. 1.2 Foreword. Not applicable. 1.3 Applicability. Not app

4、y Type Abrasion Tester or equivalent. 3.2.2 Vacuum. Must have sufficient suction to remove particles during the test. 3.2.3 Weights supplied by abrasion tester manufacturer shall be added to the arm spindle, if necessary, to achieve the total required mass specified. If a mass is labeled 500 g, that

5、 is the total mass applied to the test specimen when the weight is added to the arm spindle. (See Table 1). Table 1: Possible Mass Combinations Arm spindle No added weight 250 g = 250 g Arm spindle Plus weight labeled 500 g = 500 g Arm spindle Plus weight labeled 1000 g = 1000 g Note: Each rotating

6、platform has two arm spindles. The weight specified in the material specification is the weight required on each of the two arm spindles individually. If the material specification requires 1000 g, each arm spindle individually must be 1000 g (250 g arm spindle + 750 g weight). Each 750 g weight is

7、actually labeled 1000 g. The weight is labeled to indicate the total weight after having been placed on the arm spindle. 3.2.4 Apparatus for conditioning to the appropriate requirements as described in GMW3221, unless otherwise specified in the relevant material specification. 3.2.5 Test Material.

9、.1 One-hundred fifty (150) grit silicon carbide sandpaper supplied by Taber Industries as S-11, or equivalent. 3.2.5.2 Abrasion wheels, as supplied by Taber Industries, as required in the applicable material specification. 3.3 Test Vehicle/Test Piece. Not applicable. 3.4 Test Time. Not applicable. 3

10、.5 Test Required Information. Not applicable. 3.6 Personnel/Skills. Not applicable. 4 Procedure A test specimen is abraded using a dual, opposing, circular, rubbing action with a prescribed abrasive and a prescribed weight. The test specimen mounted on a platform, turns on a horizontal axis, against

11、 the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels. The abraded area of the test specimen is evaluated visually. 4.1 Preparation. 4.1.1 A minimum of three test specimens shall be cut to the dimensions specified in the material specification following sampling guidelines specified. 4.1.2 The hole diameter

12、must be within 1 mm of the spindle diameter and shall be cut in the exact center of each test specimen. Do not fold the specimen to locate the exact center. A template may be used to overlay on the specimen to locate the center. 4.1.3 Follow mounting instructions in the material specification if it

13、is not possible to use the standard mounting card. 4.1.4 Condition test specimens for a minimum of 24 h to the requirements of GMW3221 Code A. 4.2 Conditions. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. Not applicable. 4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agre

14、ed upon. Such requirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certificates, reports, etc. 4.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Install the specified abrasion wheels and additional weights, if necessary, as required in the equipment material specification. 4.3.2 The abrasion wheels shall be resurfaced

15、, using sandpaper prior to each test. The sanding disk shall be used for 50 cycles maximum for the same wheel type. Resurface the wheel for a minimum of 25 cycles or until the original color of the wheel is restored. Never resurface a wheel with the sandpaper mounted over the test specimen. 4.3.3 Ad

16、just the vacuum setting to the maximum power setting of 100 unless otherwise specified. 4.3.4 Clamp the sample in the holder so that the test specimen is smooth and wrinkle-free. Next install the flange, then the retaining nut. Lastly, install the retaining ring and tighten to be snug. Do not make t

17、he ring so snug that it causes the specimen to buckle. 4.3.5 Slowly lower the abrasion wheels gently on the test specimen. 4.3.6 Adjust the height of the vacuum nozzle so that it does not touch the test specimen and is a minimum of 6 mm above the surface of the test specimen. Maintaining the vacuum

18、nozzle too close to the specimen during testing, for an extended period of time, may damage the vacuum. 4.3.7 Abrade the test specimen for the prescribed number of cycles. Based on different geographic regions, the rotating platforms may rotate at 60 rpm 5 rpm or they may rotate at 70 rpm 5 rpm. For

19、 some materials, it may be possible that either rate of rotation may be specified in the material specification if it is known to affect the wear test results. 4.3.8 Remove the test specimen. Note: Fabrics shall not be cleaned or vacuumed prior to evaluation. 5 Data 5.1 Calculations. Not applicable.

Table 2: Rating Class Definition 10 No change

22、 9 8 Slight change Only detectable upon close visual examination 7 6 Moderate change Noticeable change from original 5 4 Significant change from original that would be considered objectionable 3 2 Severe change Destructive abrasion that would include wearing through the surface 1 5.3 Test Documentat

23、ion. Report the abrasion rating assigned to the test specimens and submit the specimens with the test report. Report the revolutions per minute of the rotating platforms for the machine that was used for testing. 6 Safety This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This
