6 Scrub test
6.1 Preparation
Before the apparatus is prepared for scrub tests, you should have decided:
•according to which standard the scrub test should be carried out
•which friction set you will be using
•if an even or a curved sample will be inserted
Up to 4 identical or different friction sets can be used at the same time, depending
on the friction material, the sample surface, the speed and the test load.
The highest possible test load is depending on the friction material, the sample
surface and the speed.
6.1.1 Available friction sets
