CUT & CHIP
Asphalt and bitumen chemical property testing per ASTM D36 and D92 at Infinita LabCUT & CHIP
Understanding the wear performance of the materials used in tires and other industrial products is essential for their successful formulation, selection, and quality assurance. To analyze how the materials will handle wear after being punctured by a knife with a precision ground edge, laboratory testing of the industrial-grade materials is required. This process, known as the cut and chip resistance test, is used to ascertain the durability of the product when used in very demanding scenarios.
The test itself consists of applying a predetermined force to the material while simultaneously pushing a sharp knife with a precision ground edge. This allows the material to be punctured, and the wear on the material after the test can then be measured and evaluated. The data obtained from the test can be used to determine if the material has the desired toughness and wear protection needed for its intended application. It also provides an understanding of how the material will handle wear in similar environments and applications.
Cut and chip testing is a useful tool for those involved in the production and development of tires and other industrial products. It helps to determine the quality of the material and assess how it will perform when used in tough service environments. The data obtained from the test results can then be used to make informed decisions about the selection and formulation of products and materials.
