Scope
This document describes a method for the determination of the abrasion resistance of rubber using a modified Lamborn Abrasion Tester. The disc-shaped rubber sample and the grinding wheel are pressed against each other under a specified load, and rotate at different linear speeds through an independent drive system. Different speeds cause relative slippage between the sample and the grinding wheel, resulting in wear loss. The test results are expressed as the volume loss per unit wear time or unit stroke and (or) the wear resistance index compared with the reference compound. The improved Lamborn abrasion testing machine can independently set various abrasion conditions, such as slip rate, linear velocity and load, and this method is suitable for evaluating various rubber products, especially tire compounds, under various harsh conditions. An example of a test for tire tread compounds is given in Appendix A.
