Summary of Test Method
7、3.1 Curved steel panels, coated with the matter to beevaluated, are mounted on the inside surface of a cylindricaldrum. A charge of fine aggregate coarse aggregates and waterare added and the drum is sealed. Then the drum is rotated tocause an abrasive flow over the materials being tested. Afterthe
8、prescribed number of revolutions, the panels are removedfrom the drum, inspected and weighed for loss; or Alternative2 counting grid method is used.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means of determining anabrasion rate (weight and calculated average thickness loss)when comparing
9、 materials, coatings, pavings, or linings undertest conditions that will be subjected to abrasive bed loads. Theimportance of this information is recognized when dealing withculverts, storm and sanitary sewer applications, although thelast two generally do not have the same degree of abrasion dueto
10、the flatter slopes and less bed loads than culverts. Specifi-cally, the invert of these types of pipe, regardless of thematerial used, can be exposed to flows containing abrasive bedloads or solid particulates that cause wearing of the pipe wall.4.2 By subjecting materials to wear in the bed load ab
11、rasionmachine with a controlled bed load charge made up of fineaggregate and coarse aggregate over a specified period, acomparison of the resistance between materials can be estab-lished.4.3 This test method does not simulate the effect of abrasivematerial striking the upstream face of corrugations,
12、 as wouldbe typical for coating materials which do not completely fill thecorrugations.NOTE 1Caution: This test method uses specific quantitative values toencourage repetitive results and does not consider varying bed loadcharacteristics, ratio of water to bed load, velocity, time or actual fieldcon
13、ditions, and the effect of exposed edges on laminates. The user mustuse extreme care in comparing one test result to another because of theseand other variables.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A05 onMetallic-Coated Iron and Steel Products and is the direct responsibilit

The machine shall consist of a hollow steelcylinder, closed at both ends, having an outside diameter of 246 0.2 in. (610 6 5 mm). On
17、e closed end of the cylinder shallhave four bolted plexiglass windows one of which is elongatedto provide placement of the specimens. A shaft mountedhorizontal and through the cylinder shall have a drive pulley atone end and be supported by bearings connected to a frameallowing the cylinder to turn
18、freely and be in alignment with adrive motor below.5.2 The machine shall consistently rotate at 50 6 5 r/minwhen specimens are mounted and drum is fully charged.6. Test Specimens6.1 PanelsTest specimens shall consist of zinc-coatedsteel sheet with or without a nonmetallic protective coating tobe eva

A plain zinc-coated panel serves as a controlspecimen.6.1.1 Panels to serve as a substrate for coating material
20、s tobe applied to fabricated pipe shall be curved prior to applica-tion of the coating material. The control panel and panelshaving factory applied nonmetallic coating (such as polymerprecoated sheet, Specification A 742/A 742M) shall be in theas-received condition.6.1.2 Fabricate the panels as show
21、n in Fig. 2. Take care infabricating panels with preapplied nonmetallic coatings toavoid damage to the coating. Curve the panels to a smooth,uniform radius with no straight tangent portions at the ends. Adevice as described in Appendix X1 shall be used.6.2 CoatingCoat the panels as recommended by th
22、emanufacturer of the coating material. The thickness of thecoating shall be equal to, or greater than, the minimumthickness proposed or required to be used on pipe (usually onthe crest of corrugations).6.3 MountingMount the coated test panels in the drumusing516 in. (or M8) steel bolts. Other sizes
23、of bolts may beused provided appropriate adjustments are made in the mount-ing hole slot. Use washers under the bolt head (or nut) toprotect the coating from damage when tightening the bolt (ornut). Place a thin foam cushion (expanded neoprene, etc.)under the panels to provide a tight fit against th
