The use of ASTM 4060 Tabor Abrasor Testing has long been the standard for comparing the wear characteristics of different coating systems. This has been done with standard impregnated rubber disks to allow for the industry to look across companies and compare the abrasion resistance of different products. With different coating systems gaining acceptance into artificial lift well applications, a desire for a similar test method that allows for evaluating the wear of coating on coating, rod guide on coating and rod guide on liner has arisen. This paper will outline the development of a modified test protocol for ASTM 4060 to allow for comparable testing of different polymeric materials under defined, repeatable conditions.
