ASTM D968 Abrasion Test Panels

Metal or glass panels used in ASTM D968 (Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings by Falling Abrasive). This test uses a coated test panel (metal or glass) that is placed at a 45° angle to a stream of falling abrasive sand. ASTM D968 does not define an exact panel size, but some standard test panel sizes include 3" x 6", 4" x 6", and 3" x 10". Other panel sizes are available on request. These abrasion test panels can be made of various substrate materials, including glass, steel, or aluminum. Metaspec provides these test panels with a pre-cleaned and inspected as-rolled surface finish (not coated).
