ASTM D 4060 :
Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of
Organic Coatings by the Taber Abraser |
|
This test method
covers determination of the resistance of organic
coatings to abrasion produced by the Taber Abraser on
coatings applied to a plane, rigid surface, such as a
metal panel.
Because of the poor reproducibility of this test method,
it should be restricted to testing in only one laboratory
when numerical abrasion resistance values are to be used.
Interlaboratory agreement is improved significantly when
rankings of coatings are used in place of numerical
values.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for
information only.
