Historical Standard: ASTM C1353-98(2006) Standard Test Method Using the Taber Abraser for Abrasion Resistance of Dimension Stone Subjected to Foot Traffic
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C1353
1. 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.
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.
