1、Designation:D222804(Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forRubber PropertyRelative Abrasion Resistance by PicoAbrader Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2228;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,t
2、he 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the
3、 determination of the abra-sion resistance of vulcanized(thermoset)rubbers,thermoplas-tic elastomers,and elastomeric and similar materials to astandardized reference system.A standardized set of referencecompounds is used to calculate relative abrasion resistance.These reference compounds are also u

10、f the knives and hence,the calibration of the instrument,arewithin the specified limits,and additionally,as referencestandards to which the abrasion resistance,determined byvolumetric loss,of a subject material may be compared.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method may be used to estimate the re
11、lativeabrasion resistance of subject materials as described in 1.1.Nocorrelation between this accelerated test and service perfor-mance is given or implied,due,in part,to the widely varyingnature of service conditions.4.2 The formulas,for which the mixing and curing specifi-cations are given in Anne
12、x A1,once prepared,are referred toas calibration compounds.These calibration compounds maybe used to determine the performance status of the cuttingknives as described in this test method.4.3 The performance of the cutting knives may also bedetermined by periodically determining their dimensions asd
