Abrasion Resistance   Property: Abrasion Resistance Method of Measurement: Abrasion properties of rubber are difficult to define. Many different abrasion machines have been designed but they do not always give similar results. The most common abraders are AKRON, Dunlop and Du Pont. Results are recorded as volume loss per standard test piece, or as the difference in volume loss when compared with a standard material of known abrasion value. Indices of relative abrasion are also used. ASTM REFERENCE: D394 BS REFERENCE: BS903 Part A9 * technically equivalent ** identical
