  • TEST MATERIAL

The major test material in Russia is 20mm Rebar.

 

  • TESTING METHODS

The test methods are mainly divided into two kinds:

  1. One is cutting the wheel all done and records the total number of cutting of the wheel and the time of each cut.
  2. The other is calculating the weight and size consumed by the cuts after 30 or 50cuts and the time for each cut.

Most of the testing is done manually, also some will be completely aligned with the machine test.

 

The quality standard is basically judged from the life (number of cuts, consumption rate) and speed (cutting time per cut).

 

In order to let you guys understand, I will make a specific analysis based on the tests of 20mm Rebar commonly used in Russia.
