IS : 1237-1980, IS : 1706 - 1972

Applications:

This is used for determination of resistance to wear for Cement & Concrete flooring tiles.

How it works?:

The tile sample of 7.06 cm x 7.06 cm is pressed under a specified load against a grinding path strewn evenly with an abrasive powder revolving at the rate of 30 ± 1 r.p.m. At the end of 100 revolutions of the disc, the second parallel side of the tile is subjected to wear for an equal number of revolutions of the disc. The wear of tile is measured using a thickness gauge
