STANDARDIZED ABRASION TESTERS FOR DETERMINING ABRASION RESISTANCE OF GLAZED CERAMIC SURFACES
Applicable standard:
UNI EN ISO 10545-7, SASO ISO 10545-7, GSO UNI EN ISO 10545-7, NF EN ISO 10545-7, Annexe 1 Cahier
CSTB 3778_V6 Juillet 2024, ASTM C1027
The test involves exposing the glazed material to the abrasive action of a charge comprising balls of different diameters with the addition of corundum and distilled water (P.E.I. method). The different abrasion stages are achieved by programming the machine at an increasingly higher number of revs, with fixed instrument speed as required by the standard. Later on, a visual analysis of the test result will classify it in the various abrasion groups envisaged by the method.
