ASTM G118-96

Standard Guide for Recommended Format of Wear Test Data Suitable for Databases

SCOPE
1.1 This guide is intended to assist in the organization of wear test data for the purpose of data storage in computerized databases. It is meant to assist the user in developing databases for the purpose of data comparison and utilization. Data elements (fields) are described covering both materials and wear test issues.
