What is ISO 23337 - Abrasion resistance about?
ISO 23337 is an international standard used for Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic that specifies the test method which helps in determining the abrasion resistance by using the Improved Lambourn test machine.
ISO 23337 specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of rubber to abrasion using the Improved Lambourn test machine.
The abrasion loss resulting from the slip is caused by the difference in circumferential speed between a disc-shaped rubber test piece and an abrasive wheel, which are driven to rotate independently with their circumferences pressed against each other by a specified load. The test result can be reported as a volume loss per abrasion test time or running distance, and/or as an abrasion resistance index compared to a reference compound.
