1、Designation:D762522Standard Test Method forLaboratory Determination of Abrasiveness of Rock Usingthe CERCHAR Abrasiveness Index Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7625;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of r
2、evision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the abra-siveness of rock by the CERCHAR Abrasiveness Ind
3、ex(CAI)method.The test method consists of measuring the wear on thetip of steel stylus with a cone shape and known RockwellHardness,caused by scratching against a freshly broken or sawcut rock surface for a prescribed 10 mm distance using one ofthe two test apparatus.1.2 This test method is intended
4、 for freshly broken rocksurfaces;however,saw cut surfaces are covered for when asatisfactory rock surface cannot be obtained.1.3 The Rockwell Hardness(HR)of the stylus can have aprofound effect on the results.The focus of this test method isan HRC value of 55 for every test(1,2).2However,there aresi
5、tuations where styli with different Rockwell Hardness can beused.Therefore,this test method includes discussions on styluswith different Rockwell Hardness.1.3.1 The Rockwell hardness(HR)value is based on theindentation hardness of a material.The Rockwell test,E18,measures the depth of penetration of
6、 an indenter under a largeload(major load)compared to the penetration made by apreload(minor load).(3)There are different scales,denoted bya single letter(Ato F),that use different loads or indenters.Theresult is a dimensionless number noted as HRA,HRB,HRC,etc.,where the last letter is the respectiv
7、e Rockwell scale whichin this test method is the scale C,which is for hardensteel.1.4 Basically,the CERCHAR test is a measurement of therelative different hardness of stylus tip and rock specimensurface.The stylus tip is made of steel having a knownRockwell Hardness.Experiments have shown that CAI v
8、ariesinversely with stylus hardness.Test results with the same steeltype stylus but with different hardness need to be normalized tostandard stylus hardness(2).1.5 The scratch distance shall be limited to 10 mm.Ingeneral,85%of the stylus wear occurs during the first 2 mmof scratchs length.The remain
9、ing 15%of the stylus wearoccurs during the last 8 mm of the scratchs length.Therefore,minor variation in the scratchs length from test to test doesntsignificantly affect the total stylus wear and the resulting CAIwhen variation in scratch length is kept between 60.5 mm inlength(3).1.6 All observed a

11、ificant digits that generally should be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for the users objectives;and it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of reported data to becomme
12、nsurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethods for engineering design.1.7 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.8 This standard doe
