17、d States1NOTE 2Diagrams of three machines meeting these specifications are shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3.4PROCEDURE AREVOLVING DISKS5. Apparatus5.1 The function of the apparatus is dependent upon the abrasive action of the flat faces of three 60-mm (238-in.) diameter,cold-rolled steel revolvin
18、g disks, each attached to motor-driven vertical shafts which also revolve about a vertical axis. The insidediameter of the resulting circular and abraded track shall be approximately 150 mm (6 in.) and the outside diameter 275 mm (11in.). Crossed slots 90 to each other and cut 5 mm (316 in.) deep an
19、d 6 mm (14 in.) wide are located symmetrically in the abrasiveflat faces.5.2 The disks are free floating inasmuch as they are self-supporting and are driven transversely along a circular path at 12rev/min (12 rpm) while being individually turned on their own axis at 280 rev/min (280 rpm). Cups attac
20、hed at the top of the shaftof each disk shall be loaded with lead shot to produce a uniform total load of 22 N (5 lbf) on each abrading disk face.5.3 The abrasive grit shall consist of 250 No. 60 silicon carbide. This is fed from a storage cup mounted on the revolvingcircular plate through a 3-mm (1
21、8-in.) orifice passing through the plate. The flow of abrasive shall be controlled to a rate of 4 to6 g/min by an adjusting needle located in the orifice. The abrasive falls at the midwidth of the circular abraded track, and midwaybetween two of the disks.5.4 The micrometer bridge consists of a mach
22、ine-finished 25-mm (1-in.) rectangular steel bar of at least 300-mm (12-in.), clearspan supported by a tripod and drilled along its centerline with ten 3-mm (18-in.) diameter holes spaced 6-mm (14 in.) on center.The measuring instrument is a depth micrometre with a needle having an effective depth r
23、ange of 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in.) andgraduated to an accuracy of at least 0.025 mm (0.001 in.).4 The sole source of supply of these machines known to the committee at this time is White Machine Co., 9591 York Alpha Dr., North Royalton, OH 44133; SpiritFabricating, Ltd., 9260 Valley View Rd., Macedoni

25、M 1226. Test Specimen6.1 For laboratory test purposes, the machine is designed to accommodate approximately 300 by 300-mm (12 by 12-in.) testspecimens. The apparatus is equipped with an adjusting handle linked by a sprocket and chain-drive assembly to the four 25-mmFIG. 2 Dressing Wheel Abrasion Tes
26、t MachineFIG. 3 Ball Bearing Abrasion Test MachineC779/C779M 123(1-in.) diameter posts which support the entire rotating abrasion element. This feature permits the abrasion of test panels up toapproximately 100-mm (4-in.) in thickness. A zero adjustment in the height of the abrasion assembly also pe
27、rmits the use of theapparatus as a portable device for measuring the abrasion resistance on the surfaces in place as well as on test specimens.7. Procedure7.1 Prior to the test period, precondition the sample to remove curing compound and surface irregularities by running theabrasion machine for 5 m
28、in, after which the initial measurements shall be taken. Obtain initial measurements to an accuracy ofat least 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) of the test area by taking two series of 20 measurements each. Place the micrometer bridge so thatthe line of the second series of readings bisects at right angles to t
29、he first series of measurements. In making measurementssubsequent to the abrasion period, take care that the micrometer bridge is placed in precisely the same position in which thereference measurements were obtained. To ensure this, outline the ends of the positioned micrometer bridge on the surfac
30、e priorto making the initial measurements.7.2 A test period of 30 min generally produces significant wear on most concrete surfaces, but it is recommended to extend thetest period to 60 min, if information on the longtime abrasion resistance is desired.7.3 In using the device as a portable apparatus
31、, take care in the selection of the areas to be tested. Although the base of theapparatus is equipped with rubber pads, not only to prevent the apparatus from creeping during the abrasion operation but also tominimize the effect of slight variations in the level of the test areas. Select test areas
32、with a minimum of variation in level so asto eliminate the creeping effect.7.4 Take measurements of depth wear with a micrometer bridge as described in 4.45.4 to an accuracy of at least 0.025 mm(0.001 in.). Prior to each set of measurements, clean the specimen surface carefully by removing loose par
33、ticles.7.5 Make three tests on surfaces representative of the concrete to be evaluated. When wear of the disks reduces the depth ofthe slots to less than 1.5 mm (116 in.), they shall be replaced. New disk faces shall be subjected to a break-in period of at least15 min.8. Interpretation of Results8.1
34、 The comparison of measurements of average depth of wear of representative surfaces at 30 and 60-min exposure to abrasionwill indicate the relative abrasion resistance of these surfaces.9.

36、f concrete when tested.PROCEDURE BDRESSING WHEELS10. Apparatus10.1 The function of the apparatus is dependent upon the abrasive action of three sets of steel dressing wheels riding in a circularpath over a horizontal concrete surface. The dressing wheels in each of the three sets of wheels turn free
37、ly on a horizontal axleat the bottom of a free-floating, weighted, vertical steel shaft.10.2 Each of the three sets of seven dressing wheels are spaced so that each set cuts approximately a 40-mm (112-in.) wide path.The machine produces a circular abrasion path of about 140-mm (512-in.) inside diame
38、ter and 220-mm (812-in.) outside diameter.10.3 The apparatus shall consist of a motor-driven spider arrangement turning at 56 rev/min (56 rpm). The motor shall bemounted on a horizontal plate supported by four screw jacks allowing the motor to be raised and lowered. The spider shall be hungfrom the
39、vertical motor shaft. The three vertical shafts shall be mounted in the spider arrangement so that they rotate with the spiderand are free to move up and down in independent thrust-bearing sockets.10.4 The three shafts shall be fitted with a yoke inside, upon which a series of seven dressing wheels
40、are placed on a horizontalaxle. The mass of each complete dressing wheel assembly as it bears on the concrete surface shall be 7.5 kg (16.5 lb).10.5 The dressing wheels shall have an outside diameter of 60 mm (238 in.) and a thickness of 3 mm (18 in.) and shall beprovided with 18 flattened points, e
41、ach having dimensions of 3.0 by 2.0-mm (0.125 by 0.075 in.). The dressing wheels shall beassembled on the shaft alternated with steel washers. The total width of seven dressing wheels and eight washers shall beapproximately 40 mm (112 in.). The dressing wheels must be loose enough to turn freely and
42、 independently.10.6 The measuring instrument shall be a dial micrometer, reading to an accuracy of at least 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) with a rangeof at least 10 mm (0.4 in.). The contact end of the micrometer spindle shall have a spherical surface of 9.5-mm (38-in.) diameter.A jig located on the undersid
43、e of the spider holds the micrometre magnetically in the approximate center of the path of the dressingwheels.C779/C779M 12411. Test Specimen11.1 Place a sample approximately 300 by 300 by 100-mm (12 by 12 by 4-in.) thick into the machine and lock it in place withvises provided. Do not remove the sa
44、mple until the test is completed. Test three identical samples.12. Procedure12.1 Position the abrasion apparatus over surface to be tested. Rubber pads on the bottom of machine will hold the machinein place. Turn the screw crank until the full weight of each dressing-wheel shaft is resting on the co
45、ncrete surface. Lower the spideras far as possible without exerting any pressure from the spider itself onto these three shafts. Allow a spacing of 15 mm (0.5 in.)for vertical travel of the dressing wheels. Lock the screw crank to prevent any change in vertical movement of the spider duringtesting.1
46、2.2 Take an initial measurement to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) on the test area with the dial micrometer in place whilerevolving the spider two revolutions by hand. Record this initial reading as a reference reading and then remove the micrometer.Start the machine and let it run for 30 min, bru
47、sh off the loose material, insert the dial micrometer, and record the average readingagain. If the readings are not reasonably uniform, record several readings taken around the circumference of the abraded surfacefrom which the average reading may be computed. The difference between the reference re
48、ading and the 30-min reading isindicative of the depth of wear.12.3 Make three tests on surfaces representative of the concrete to be evaluated. After every third test, install new dressingwheels.12.4 A test period of 30 min generally produces significant wear on most concrete surfaces, but it is re
49、commended to extendthe period to 60 min, if simulation of more severe abrasion is desired. Take depth-of-wear readings at 15-min intervals to thenearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) to obtain a time versus wear curve.13. Interpretation of Results13.1 The comparison of measurements of average depth of wear of representative surfaces at 30 and 60-min exposure toabrasion will indicate the relative abrasion resistance of these surfaces.13.2 A comparison of curves will indicate whether the resistance to abrasion is primarily at the surface or at a greater depth
