Tribological Testing Standards
Many standardized tests are available for tribological tests revealed by different organizations such as ASTM. These test standards are based on friction, wear and lubrication and related subjects as well as their practical applications. The tests should be carried out according to these related standards to be able to compare the different test results and validate their repeatability. Click here to see a list of these standards.
