BS ISO 6370-2:2020 pdf download – Vitreous and porcelain enamels — Determination of the resistance to abrasion Part 2: Loss in mass after sub-surface abrasion 5 Reagents and materials For cleaning the test specimens and the reference glass plates, use the following reagents (5.1 and 5.2). 5.1 Ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH), with a volume fraction between 96 % and 98 %. 5.2 Distilled water, or water of equivalent purity (grade 3 water in accordance with ISO 3696). 5.3 Steel balls. For each test on a set of three specimens and three reference glass plates, use the following (see 8.3): — 480 g of balls that are 4 mm in diameter; — 360 g of balls that are 3 mm in diameter; — 210 g of balls that are 2 mm in diameter. Balls shall consist of the same stainless steel of the type used for bearings and shall be hardened, for example, type of steel 20 in accordance with ISO 683-17. 5.4 Abrasives, as follows. — Grains of milled sanidine K(AlSi 3 O 8 ) (potassium feldspar), of grain size P 100, in accordance with ISO 6344-2. If a higher abrasion is required, fused alumimium oxide shall be used for the test. NOTE Feldspar represents 60 % of earth’s crust, therefore, sanidine is an appropriate material to test resistance to abrasion in most cases. — Grains of fused aluminium oxide, of grain size P 80, in accordance with ISO 6344-2. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Abrasion testing apparatus, in accordance with ISO 6370-1. 6.2 Balance, accurate to 0,2 mg. 6.3 Pipette, of nominal capacity 25 ml, at least class B, in accordance with ISO 648. 6.4 Drying oven, capable of maintaining temperatures of at least 130 °C. 6.5 Desiccator, with an internal diameter of 200 mm. 6.6 Reference glass plates, square plates with a side length of 100 mm and thickness of 3 mm, consisting of float glass. For each test, a set of three reference glass plates is required. For identification of the float-bath surface of the glass plates, see Annex A. NOTE Float glass is made by a process in which a ribbon of hot glass is floated upon a heated liquid of density greater than that of the glass. 7 Test specimens 7.1 Prepare the test specimens in accordance with the International Standards for the appropriate basis metal.
