(Test Method)Standard Test Method Using the Taber Abraser for Abrasion Resistance of Dimension Stone Subjected to Foot Traffic
Standard Test Method Using the Taber Abraser for Abrasion Resistance of Dimension Stone Subjected to Foot Traffic
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the establishment of an index of abrasion resistance by determination of loss of weight resulting from abrasion of dimension stone as described in Terminology C 119 and is modeled after Test Method C 501.
1.2 The values stated in metric units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This test method makes use of a Taber abraser machine to determine the weight loss of dimension stone under controlled conditions.
1.4 This test method is useful in indicating the differences in abrasion resistance between the various dimension stones. This test method provides one element in comparing stones of the same type.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.1.1 index of abrasion resistance, n—a number calculated from the weight loss of a specimen subjected to a given number of
revolutions against a standard bonded abrasive wheel.
3.1.2 sample, n—a geometrically regular block of stone.
3.1.3 test specimen, n—a flat prism of specified size and shape cut from the submitted sample.
4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 This test method consists of mounting the stone specimen in suitable holders, attaching the mounted holder to the spindle
of the Taber abraser, and subjecting the specimen to a prescribed number of revolutions under abrasive wheels of specified
coarseness for a definite applied load. From the loss of weight due to abrasion, the abrasive wear index is calculated by a given
formula.
