ASTM D2714 - Calibration and Operation of the Falex Block-on-Ring Friction and Wear Testing Machine

Significance and Use

4.1 This test method is used for the calibration of a block-on-ring testing machine by measuring the friction and wear properties of a calibration fluid under the prescribed test conditions.

4.2 The user of this test method should determine to his or her own satisfaction whether results of this test procedure correlate with field performance or other bench test machines. If the test conditions are changed, wear values can change and relative ratings of fluids can be different.

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the calibration and operation of a block-on-ring friction and wear testing machine.
