What Is ASTM D7035 Sliding Wear Resistance?
ASTM D7035-10 is a standard test method used for area air sampling to monitor and control inhalable and respirable airborne particles containing metals and metalloids.
This technique involves collecting particulate matter on an appropriate substrate, then using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) for chemical digestion and analysis. The method requires proficiency in spectrum and matrix interference analysis, as well as appropriate corrective actions. This approach does not cover elemental mercury and metals in gaseous or vapour form.

Our ASTM D7035 Testing Procedure
Air Sampling & Particle Collection
A known volume of air is drawn, and particulate matter is trapped on a filter or capsule.
1Sample Digestion & Ion Conversion
Collected samples are digested with acids, and metals are converted to ionic form.
2Instrumental Analysis
Prepared solutions are analysed using ICP-AES.
3Data Processing
Elemental concentrations are calculated and corrected for blanks and dilutions.

ASTM D7035 Sliding Wear Resistance FAQs
ASTM G137 determines the resistance of plastic materials to dry sliding wear using a block-on-ring configuration. Results are used to rank materials according to their sliding wear performance.
The method can be used for plastics that can be fabricated into suitable block specimens, including molded or cut specimens from fabricated plastic parts.
Testing can be performed at specified load, sliding velocity, and temperature conditions selected to represent or approximate the intended service environment.
Wear performance is reported as a specific wear rate, calculated from volume loss, sliding distance, and applied load. A lower specific wear rate indicates better sliding-wear resistance.
Sliding wear testing helps manufacturers compare material formulations and select plastics for applications involving friction and repeated contact. Because wear behavior depends strongly on test conditions and geometry, results should be interpreted in relation to the intended service conditions.
