DRY ABRASION TESTER TR-50

PURPOSE

Measures index of abrasive resistance to dry sand.

DESCRIPTION

The Dry Sand / Rubber Wheel Abrasion test involves


abrading of test specimen with a grit of controlled size
and composition.

The test specimen is pressed against a rotating wheel,


while a controlled flow of grit abrades test surface.
The rotation of the wheel is along the sand flow. The
duration of test and force applied is varied. Speci-
mens are weighed before and after the test. Loss
in mass is recorded.

It is necessary to convert mass loss to volume loss for


reporting, due to differences in density of materials.
Index of abrasion is reported as loss of volume. Wheel
rim is of chlorobutyle rubber with shore hardness of
A60±2.

TEST VARIABLES : Load, Sand

MATERIALS: Metals, minerals, polymers, composites,


ceramics and thick coatings.
