A smallernumber indicates
17、a higher resistance to abrasion.5. Significance and Use5.1 Abrasion resistance is a performance factor of para-mount importance for many rubber products, such as tires,conveyor belts, power transmission belts, hoses, footwear, andfloor covering. A test capable of measuring resistance toabrasion of r
18、ubber, including uniformity of wear behaviorunder abrasive/frictional service conditions is therefore highlydesirable.5.2 This test method may be used to estimate the relativeabrasion resistance of different rubbers. Since conditions ofabrasive wear in service are complex and vary widely, no directc
19、orrelation between this accelerated test and actual perfor-mance can be assumed.5.3 This test method is suitable for comparative testing,quality control, specification compliance testing, refereepurposes, and research and development work.6. Limitations6.1 Test pieces containing voids or porosity, o
20、r both, willyield unreliable test results.6.2 Test pieces that bounce (chatter) over the surface of theabrasive sheet rather than running smoothly will produceinaccurate test results and are not candidates for this testmethod.6.3 Test pieces that tend to extensively smear the surface ofthe abrasive
21、sheet will provide meaningless test results.6.4 Test results obtained under any of the above conditionsshall not be used to reach conclusions regarding the relativeabrasion resistance of rubbers.7. Apparatus and Materials7.1 Multi-Directional Platform Abrader:7.1.1 The Multi-directional Platform abr
22、ader4consists of amachine frame holding one or more test piece holders movingin a soft lissajous pattern, a corresponding number of abrasiontables to which an abrasive sheet can be fastened, and a drivesystem (example shown in Fig. 1).7.1.2 The non-rotating test piece holders grip the specimens(exam
23、ple shown in Fig. 2). Sample protrusions of 2.0 6 0.2mm are set by shims. The combined weight of the test pieceholder and spindle assembly apply a force of 6 6 0.1 N on thespecimen.7.1.3 The soft lissajous pattern, measuring 60 mm by 60mm 6 1 mm is shown in Fig. 3.7.1.4 The abrasion tables, measurin
24、g 121 6 1 mm diameterare shown in Fig. 4.7.1.5 Air nozzles are provided for each abrasion table toblow away any debris and help to prevent clogging of theabrasive paper. Air pressure should be sufficient to removedebris from the abrasive paper, up to a maximum of 8 Bar. Careshould be taken that the
25、air pressure does not lift the specimenoff of the abrasive paper.7.1.6 The machine operates at 48 rpm.7.1.7 The abrasive sheet shall be secured tightly to theabrading tables using clamp rings or an equivalent method. SeeFig. 4.4The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at thi

27、ectional Platform AbraderD8115 1727.1.8 The test piece holder shall be mounted on to thespindle assembly which is then inserted into position in themachine frame. See the final assembly in Fig. 4.7.1.9 The center axis of the test piece holder shall beperpendicular to the abrading table.7.1.10 The te
28、st piece holder shall consist of an aperturesufficient to grip the specimen without distortion of thespecimen.7.1.11 Avacuum hose may be used to aid removal of debris.7.2 Abrasive PaperSilicon carbide abrasive paper of 140mm diameter shall be used as the abrasive medium.7.2.1 The abrasive paper shal
29、l be of an abrasiveness as tocause a mass loss between 190 and 210 mg on Standard Rubber#1 specified in Section 8. As this abrasive paper is commer-cially available it is possible that the abrasiveness may changebetween lots and therefore the number of rubs required toachieve between 190 and 210 mg
30、weight loss when tested onStandard Rubber #1 specified in Section 8 may change andshall be recorded in the test report.7.3 Test Specimen Cutting:7.3.1 When obtaining test specimens a cutting jig may beused. See Fig. 5.FIG. 2 Test Piece Holder and Spindle AssemblyFIG. 3 Soft LissajousD8115 1737.3.2 A
31、lternative means of cutting specimens, such asmolding, maybe used so long as the specimen dimensions arewithin the tolerances allowed. See Section 9.8. Standard Rubber8.1 Standard Rubber #1 as specified in Test Method D5963is used to verify the abrasiveness of the abrasive paper sheet.9. Preparation
32、 of Test Specimens9.1 Test specimens are rectangular blocks with dimensionsof 15 mm by 15 mm (60.2 mm) and a depth between 6 mmand 10 mm (60.2 mm).FIG. 4 Abrasion Tables with Air NozzlesFIG. 5 Specimen Cutting JigD8115 1749.2 Test specimens are obtained from sheets, vulcanized orformed in an appropr
33、iate mold, between 6 mm and 10 mm inthickness, using the cutting jig in accordance with 7.3.9.3 If test specimens of the required thickness are notavailable, the necessary thickness may be obtained by bondingspecimen of at least 2 mm (0.08 in.) to a base piece having adurometer hardness of no less t
34、han Type A80/1 (see TestMethod D2240, ISO 868, or ISO 7619).9.3.1 Care shall be taken that test specimens prepared in thismanner are not abraded to the bond line during the course ofthe testing procedure.9.3.2 Exposing the bond during the test procedure invali-dates the test determination.9.4 When t
35、esting finished products, such as fabric-reinforced conveyor belts, test specimens shall be obtaineddirectly, when possible, from the entire finished product,including the fabric or any integral layers. They may beobtained from test pieces, when necessary.9.4.1 In this case, it is also important tha
36、t test specimens(having been obtained from the finished product or sample) arenot abraded to an adhesive layer, layer of fabric, or otherintegral, but heterogeneous material, and that only the rubberlayer being tested for abrasion is subjected.9.4.2 Exposing bonded or heterogeneous layers during the
37、test procedure invalidates the test determination.10. Procedure10.1 The test shall be carried out at 23 6 5C (73 6 9F)and no sooner than 16 h after vulcanization or forming of thetest compounds.10.2 The density of the rubbers to be tested shall bedetermined using a hydrostatic method (see Test Metho
38、dsD297 or ISO 2781).10.3 Method:10.3.1 The abrasive sheet shall be tested for abrasiveness toensure a mass loss between 190 and 210 mg on StandardRubber #1, as specified in 7.2.1 and 8.1.10.3.2 If the mass loss of the Standard Rubber #1 fallsbetween 190 and 210 mg then the specimen are abraded for27
39、0 rubs. If the number of rubs required to achieve between190 and 210 mg mass loss differs from 270 rubs then thespecimens are tested according to the required number of rubsand the number of rubs is recorded in the test report.10.3.3 The abrasive sheets shall be mounted on the fourabrading tables. T
40、he sheets shall remain free from folds andcreases during mounting. Secure with the clamp rings.10.3.4 Four test pieces shall be run. The results shall beexpressed as the mean value.10.3.5 The test pieces shall be weighed to the nearest 1 mgand firmly fixed into the holder so that it protrudes 2.0 6
41、0.2mm (0.08 6 0.008 in.) from the opening of the holder.10.3.6 Test the specimens to 270 rubs, unless an alternativenumber of rubs is required (see 10.3.2).10.3.7 After the test the test piece is reweighed to thenearest 1 mg. Any loose material shall be removed from thetest piece prior to weighing.1
42、0.3.8 If very high mass losses are encountered (600 mg ormore per 270 rubs), it may be necessary to terminate the testafter 135 rubs. This shall be noted in the test report and thevolume loss reported for 270 rubs by multiplying the value bytwo.11. Calculation of Test Results11.1 Calculation of Abra
43、sion LossCalculate the abrasionloss, A. A loss in mass (mean value of 4 simultaneous tests)shall be converted into volume loss using the density (volumeloss equals mass loss divided by density) of the test rubber.V 5m12 m231000 (1)where:V = wear volume (mm3)m1= mass of the specimen before (g)m2= mas
44、s of the specimen after (g) = density of the sample (g/cm3)NOTE 1The volumetric wear is determined at each of at least foursamples.NOTE 2The volume loss of non-porous test pieces may also bedetermined by forced immersion in a buoyant medium, such as water,before and after the test run, instead of we
45、ighing the loss in mass andconverting this from the density. The volume for the test piece is thenobtained by weighing the displaced mass of the buoyant medium.12.
