No other book provides the details of how to conduct tribotests, including their implications, how to avoid pitfalls, and which are most useful. This manual describes the many manifestations of friction wear and erosion and suggests specific tests that can be used to address problems. It gives guidance in determining if bench tests are appropriate for a problem and if so, which ones should be considered.
Manual 56 is an excellent resource for newcomers to tribology and a useful reference for practicing tribologists.
Important features:
Describes 112 ASTM standards that apply to tribology problems
Contains schematics on 154 tribotesting devices
Contains 48 photos of worn parts to help readers identify wear modes
