Abrasion Resistance of Concrete by Sandblasting: Standard Test Method For
6. Preparation of Specimens
6.1 Immerse the specimens in water for 24 h and then
surface dry with a damp cloth to obtain a saturated, surface-dry
condition at the time of test.
7. Calibration of Apparatus
7.1 Adjust the air pressure to 410 6 1 kPa (59.5 6 1 psi)
and collect the abrasive for a period of 1 min. Adjust the rate
of flow of abrasive to 600 6 25 g/min (See Note 4).
NOTE 4—A ball valve between the abrasive supply and the gun inlet has
been found satisfactory for adjusting the flow of abrasive.
7.2 The abrasive shall be regraded or replaced after every 60
min of operating time in order to maintain a uniform grading.
7.3 A cold-rolled steel nozzle shall be replaced every 60 min
of operating time. A hardened tool steel nozzle shall be
changed as required to maintain the original uniform flow and
original blast pattern.
NOTE 1—All dimensions are approximate except where tolerances are 8. Procedure
shown. Inch-pound dimensions shown here for clarity purposes only.
FIG. 1 Gun Nozzle Assembly 8.1 Place the specimen with the surface to be tested normal
to the nozzle axis and at a distance of 75 6 2.5 mm (3.0 6 0.1
laboratory wear testing of concrete specimens a commercial in.) from the end. Clamp the specimen, with shield attached,
sand blast cabinet may be selected similar to that shown in Fig. firmly in place. Expose the surface to the blast for a period of
2. 1 min. Repeat this on at least eight different spots on the
