Place the abrading tool (3.3) in contact with the test

piece, apply the vertical static force F as specified in the
relevant product standard, and start the machine (3.1). lf
the product standard does not specify the force F, apply
a vertical static force of 50 N t 0,5 N and start the ma-
chine. Continue until the specified number of cycles has
been completed, then remove the test assembly from the
apparatus and re-weigh the test piece either on or off the
mandrel, as for the initial weighing. It is important to re-
move any loose particles of cover compound prior to
weighing. Record the mass (m 2) and the number of cycles
completed.
NOTE 2 For guidance in preparing requirements in product
standards, the static force should be 50 N or 100 N, the latter
being selected where higher abrasion resistance of the cover is
expected.
