Abrasion Tester-Rubber Hardness Abrasion Testing

Standards

DIN ISO 4649, NF ISO 4649, ASTM D 5963
ISO 4649 specifies two methods for the determination of the resistance of rubber to abrasion using a rotating cylindrical drum device.
Method A is for a non-rotating test piece, and method B is for a rotating test piece. Each method’s result can be reported as a relative volume loss or an abrasion resistance index.

Basic Equipment

A sample holder (rotating) with different loading weights, a rotating cylindrical roller, an emery sheet placed on the roller, and an electrical control.
Optional: An automatic vacuum cleaner connection and an optional heating module.

Range Of Application

An abrasion tester is used to determine the resistance of an elastomer to friction loss with a rotating or stationary test piece. The applications range from tires, conveyor belts, hoses, footwear, floor covering, etc.
