Designation:D596322Standard Test Method forRubber PropertyAbrasion Resistance(Rotary DrumAbrader)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5963;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of abrasionresistance of rubbers(vulcanized thermoset rubbers and ther-moplastic elastomers)that are subject to abrasive/frictionalwear in actual service.The abrasion resistance is measured bymoving a test piece across the surface of an abrasive sheetmounted to a revolving drum,and is expressed as volume lossin cubic millimetres or abrasion resistance index in percent.For volume loss,a smaller number indicates better abrasionresistance,while for the abrasion resistance index,a smallernumber denotes poorer abrasion resistance.1.2 Test results obtained by this test method shall not beassumed to represent the wear behavior of rubber productsexperienced in actual service.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values in parentheses are for information only.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D297 Test Methods for Rubber ProductsChemical Analy-sisD1765 Classification System for Carbon Blacks Used inRubber ProductsD2240 Test Method for Rubber PropertyDurometer Hard-nessD3182 Practice for RubberMaterials,Equipment,and Pro-cedures for Mixing Standard Compounds and PreparingStandard Vulcanized SheetsD4483 Practice for Evaluating Precision for Test MethodStandards in the Rubber and Carbon Black ManufacturingIndustries2.2 Other Standards:DIN 53516 Determination of Abrasion Resistance3ISO 868 Plastics and EboniteDetermination of IndentationHardness by Means of a Durometer(Shore Hardness)4ISO 2393 Rubber Test MixesPreparation,Mixing andVulcanizationEquipment and Procedures4ISO 2781 Rubber,VulcanizedDetermination of Density4ISO 4649 RubberDetermination of Abrasion ResistanceUsing a Rotating Cylindrical Drum Device4ISO 5725 Precision of Test MethodsDetermination ofRepeatability and Reproducibility for a Standard TestMethod by Interlaboratory Tests4ISO 7619 RubberDetermination of Indentation Hardnessby Means of Pocket Hardness Meters4ISO 9298 Rubber Compounding IngredientsZone OxideTest Methods41This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubberand Rubber-like Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.15on Degradation Tests.Current edition approved July 1,2022.Published August 2022.Originallyapproved in 1997.Last previous edition approved in 2019 as D5963 04(2019).DOI:10.1520/D5963-22.This test method is an adaptation of ISO Standard 4649(1985 revision),RubberDetermination of Abrasion Resistance Using a Rotating Cylindrical DrumDevice,and is being coordinated with a current draft revision of that standard(seeAppendix X1).2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from Beuth Verlag GmbH(DIN-DIN Deutsches Institut furNormung e.V.),Burggrafenstrasse 6,10787,Berlin,Germany.4Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.13.Terminology3.1 abrasion loss,A,(mm3),nthe volume loss of a definedrubber test piece determined by sliding the test piece underspecified conditions over the surface of an abrasive sheet of“nominal abrasiveness”(S0)mounted to a rotating drum ofspecified dimensions.NOTE1This corresponds to the test method of DIN 53516 and toMethodA(Relative volume loss)of ISO 4649:1985.The same calculationcould be made for the other test methods if the proper value for the“nominal abrasi
