4.2 Abrasion
A light alloy cylinder with two brackets can be used instead of the mandrel installed in the
crockmeter acc. to DIN EN ISO 105-X12 or in a similar testing device (see figure 1).
Light alloy cylinder: Weight: 40 g
Diameter: 20 mm
Length: 52 mm
Brackets: Weight: 11 g
Thickness: 5 mm
Width: 20 mm
Length: 45 mm

TL 226: 2003-11
A 3-mm-thick polyester PUR foam piece (gross density: 40 ± 5 kg/m3) is glued onto the light alloy
cylinder. The plastic foam layer is covered with the abrading device (or mandrel) in a way that
prevents movements within the foam layer.
The light alloy cylinder shall be mounted so that its contact force is identical to the contact force of
