Abrasive Index A measure of the abrasion resistance of a test
vulcanized rubber relative to that of a standard vulcanized rubber
as tested in an NBS (National Bureau of Standards) Abrasion
Tester under the same specified conditions. The Abrasive Index
is calculated as the percent ratio between the number of
revolutions required to abrade 2.5 mm of the specimen and that
of the reference sample. In the NBS Abrasion Tester, stationary
specimen pressed by weighted arm of the specimen holders
against a rotating drum wrapped in abrasive paper. The Tester is
equipped with dual thickness gauges that measure the extent of
the lowering of the arms as specimen thickness decreases due to
wear. The gauges are in contact with the arms directly over the
specimens. Also called NBS Abrasion Index.

IS0 2039-2 An International Organization for Standardization (KO)
standard test method for determination of indentation hardness of
plastics by Rockwell tester using Rockwell M, L, and R hardness
scales. The hardness number is derived from the net increase in
the depth of impression as the load on a ball indenter is increased
from a fixed minor load (98.07 N) to a major load and then
returned to the minor load. This number consists of the number
of scale divisions (each corresponding to 0.002 mm vertical
movement of the indentor) and scale symbol. Rockwell scale
vary depending on the diameter of the indentor and the major
load. For example, scale R corresponds to the ball diameter 12.7
