Abrasive Testing Checklist

Essential QA steps for engineering-grade evaluation

Verify sample representativeness (ASTM E105)Pre-Testing

Ensure the sample reflects the entire batch.

Dry sample to constant weight (105°C)Pre-Testing

Moisture affects density and sieving accuracy.

Calibrate micro-hardness tester with standard blocksMechanical

Essential for Vickers/Knoop accuracy.

Inspect sieves for mesh integrity (ASTM E11)Mechanical

Check for tears or clogged openings.

Verify Ro-Tap timer and tapping mechanismMechanical

Consistency is key for reproducible PSD.

Clean and degrease test substratePerformance

Surface contaminants skew roughness data.

Zero digital profilometer on calibration platePerformance

Calibrate before every measurement session.

Record ambient temperature and humidityDocumentation

Environmental factors can impact abrasive performance.

Log batch numbers and manufacturer COADocumentation

Ensure full traceability for QA audits.
