ms = Mass of cardboard shape matching test block
(g); the block shall be placed wearing surface
Upper most of the cardboard.
m = Mass of 200 x 100 mm cardboard rectangle (g)
cut from the same cardboard.
In case of chamfer or radius, the width of chamfer or radius shall be measured and
marked on the cardboard shape. This shape shall then be cut out accurately and
weighed for calculation of the wearing surface area. Plywood, nominally 4 mm thick,
shall be used as packing between the upper and lower faces of the specimen and the
