scope:

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of rubber to abrasion using a driven, vertical abrasive disc (the LAT 100: Laboratory Abrasion Tester 100). The loss in mass on abrasion is determined through the slip caused by setting different slip angles and rotational speeds between a wheel-shaped rubber test piece and an abrasive disc which are rotating in planes at right angles to each other and pressed against each other with a specified load. The test result can be reported as the loss in mass per unit running distance and/or as an abrasion resistance index compared to a reference compound. This International Standard is applicable to comparative testing.
