The reference standards for the Taber abrasion testing machine are provided for quick reference in practical applications:

I.International Standards

1.ASTM Standards(American Society for Testing and Materials)

ASTM D3884

Abrasion resistance of textiles(rotating platform dual-head method,similar to Taber principle).

ASTM D1044

Assessment of haze change in transparent plastics or coatings(in conjunction with Taber abrasion tester).

ASTM D6279

Abrasion resistance testing of non-metallic materials(e.g.,plastics,rubber).

2.ISO Standards(International Organization for Standardization)

ISO 9352

Abrasion resistance of plastics(mass/volume loss method).

ISO 5470-1

Rubber or plastic coated fabrics(e.g.,resilient flooring,waterproof fabrics).

ISO 7784-2

Abrasion resistance of paints and varnishes(alternative to ISO 7784-1 sand test).

3.Other International Standards

DIN 53754(Germany)

Abrasion resistance of plastics,similar to ISO 9352.

Key Differences and Selection Guide

Precautions

1.Grinding wheel selection:

CS-10(general purpose rubber wheel)is used for soft materials(such as coatings).

H-22(tungsten carbide)is used for hard materials(such as ceramic coatings).

2.Result Presentation:

Some standards require an"abrasion index"(e.g.,revolutions perμm of wear)rather than simply mass loss.

3.Latest Version:

For example,ASTM D4060-24 may have updated test parameters;please check the current version.

Extended Applications

Non-standard Testing:If no corresponding standard exists for the material,refer to similar standards and record custom parameters(e.g.,load,grinding wheel type).

Multi-standard Comparison:Export products are recommended to meet ASTM(North America),ISO(EU),and GB(China)requirements simultaneously.

For specific testing procedures or parameter details,please provide the material type for further analysis!
