DIN ISO 4649:2014-03

This document (DIN ISO 4649:2013) has been prepared by Working Committee NA 062-04-34 AA "Prüfung der physikalischen Eigenschaften von Kautschuk und Elastomeren" ("Test procedures for physical properties of rubber") at DIN Standards Committee for Material Testing (NMP). ISO 4649:2010 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45 "Rubber and rubber products", Subcommittee SC 2 "Testing and analysis". This International Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the resistance of rubber to abrasion by means of a rotating cylindrical drum device. The methods involve determination of the volume loss due to the abrasive action of rubbing a test piece over a specified grade of abrasive sheet. Method A applies for a non-rotating test piece and method B for a rotating test piece. For each method, the result can be reported as a relative volume loss or an abrasion resistance index.
