DIN 52347 Testing Glass and Plastics - Abrasion Testing - Method Using Wear Wheels and Measurement of Scattered Light

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 52347 testing. The abrasion test according to the friction wheel method of this standard is used to test the sliding wear behavior of glass and clear plastic, preferably safety glass materials for motor vehicles. The test is performed on flat surfaces. The increase in scattered light acts as the measurement variable.

DIN 52347 Testing Glass and Plastics - Abrasion Testing - Method Using Wear Wheels and Measurement of Scattered Light

Abrasion testing is very important for evaluating the durability and wear resistance of materials, especially those subject to friction and mechanical wear over time. In the context of glass and plastics, such tests relate to a variety of applications, including vehicle lenses, eyeglass lenses and other transparent or translucent components.

The specimen on the turntable of the wear tester is subjected to sliding wear by two friction wheels rotating in opposite directions. The increase in scattering of transmitted light due to surface changes during the wear test serves as a measure of wear.

The standard likely outlines how to analyze scattered light measurement data and how to interpret the results to evaluate the abrasion resistance of the material. This may include comparing results against established criteria or standards.

By following the procedures described in DIN 52347, manufacturers and researchers can evaluate the wear resistance of glass and plastic materials and make informed decisions about their suitability for specific applications. This helps ensure that materials can withstand wear and retain their function, clarity and appearance over time.
