Rubber floor coverings - Determination of abrasion resistance using a rotating cylindrical drum device and non-rotating sample holder prEN 668

Scope

This European Standard describes a method for determining the resistance of rubber floor coverings to abrasion using a rotating cylindrical drum device and non-rotating sample holder. The method involves determining the volume loss of arubber test piece through abrasion action by rubbing over a specified grade of abrasive particles and adhesive used in the manufacture of the cloth, and contamination and wear by previous testing, lead to variations in the absolute values of abrasion loss, all tests are comparative.
