ASTM G65 Measuring Abrasion Using the Dry Sand/Rubber Wheel Apparatus
ASTM G65 is a widely used test method to measure the resistance of materials to abrasive wear. This test method uses a dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus to simulate abrasive conditions that materials may be subjected to during their use in various industries.

Introduction to ASTM G65
ASTM G65 is a test method designed to determine the abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. Abrasive wear is a significant issue for many industries, including mining, construction, and manufacturing. Wear can cause damage to machinery and equipment, leading to increased downtime, maintenance costs, and ultimately decreased productivity.
ASTM G65 is a widely used test method that measures the resistance of materials to abrasive wear, simulating the abrasive conditions that materials may be subjected to during their use in various industries. The test results obtained using this test method can be used to compare the abrasion resistance of different materials or to evaluate the effect of different processing or treatment conditions on material wear resistance.
ASTM G65 Test Method
The ASTM G65 test method involves using a dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus to apply a controlled amount of abrasion to a test specimen. The test specimen is typically a flat or curved surface that is mounted onto a rotating wheel that is connected to the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The apparatus is designed to rotate the test specimen at a constant speed while a specified amount of dry silica sand is fed onto the surface of the specimen.
The test procedure consists of two steps. The test is stopped after a specified duration or when the specimen has worn to a predetermined level. The weight loss of the test specimen is then measured, and the test results are calculated.
Step 1
In the first step, the test specimen is weighed and installed on the test wheel.
Step 2
In the second step, the test specimen is subjected to the abrasive action of the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus.
ASTM G65 Specimens
Specimen Details
ASTM G65 test method is applicable to a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites.
Specimen dimensions
The acceptable specimens for ASTM G65 are typically rectangular in shape, with a thickness ranging from 3 to 25 mm, and a surface area ranging from 25 to 100 cm².
Specimen preparation
Specimens are prepared such that they have flat or curved surfaces that are free of surface defects, scratches, and other surface damage.
ASTM G65 Results
The ASTM G65 test method provides several measures of material abrasion resistance, including weight loss, volume loss, and wear rate. The test results can be used to compare the abrasion resistance of different materials or to evaluate the effect of different processing or treatment conditions on material wear resistance.
Tests Related to ASTM G65 ASTM G65 is similar to other standard test methods for measuring abrasion resistance, such as ASTM G105 and ASTM G132. ASTM G105 uses a taber abrasion machine to apply a controlled amount of abrasion to a test specimen, while ASTM G132 uses a rotating-cylinder apparatus to simulate abrasive wear. These test methods are often used in combination with ASTM G65 to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of material abrasion resistance.
