GB/T 1689-2014
Rubber vulcanized―Determination of abrasion resistance (Akron machine)

This standard primarily specifies the method for determining the wear resistance of vulcanized rubber using the Akron abrasion tester. The core principle of this method involves subjecting a strip-shaped rubber sample to friction against the surface of a grinding wheel under a specific inclined angle and a prescribed load. The wear resistance of the rubber material is precisely evaluated by measuring the volume of wear generated over a predetermined friction distance (typically 1.61 kilometers) or by calculating the abrasion index based on this measurement. It is applicable for assessing the anti-wear capability of rubber products such as tires and shoe soles under simulated usage conditions, making it a classic and widely used testing technique in the rubber industry.
