Structural Wear Products’ Quard® 500 has been tested to ASTM G65-04 standards at an Alberta testing facility. The test results are being extremely well-received throughout the industry, particularly in oil sands applications. If you have areas that require superior G65 results on 500 BHN steel, please inquire about Quard® 500. You can also review the Quard® 500 specifications data sheet by clicking here.
About G65 Testing
This standardized test procedure defined by ASTM G65-04 offers a broad spectrum of materials to test because of the many normalized modifications. Sand is put into the friction contact of a rotating disc and the specimen. The specimen is pressed against the rubberized wheel by a lever arm with a defined normal force, pic. 01. The wheel rotates with a given rotary speed. The named modifications of this test are variations in pressing force and wear distance. The mass flow of the sand can be adjusted within a tolerance of ±5 g/min. The sand flow rate stays constant for the different variations.
