The new abrasive product operates at a maximum speed of 1/min, with a corresponding maximum permissible peripheral speed of m/s The safety test speed is defined as the peripheral speed at which the manufacturer tests the abrasive products, measured in m/s Additionally, the test speed factor is denoted as f pr.
Safety test speed divided by maximum operating speed: s pr v pr f = v — f br Burst speed factor
The minimum bursting speed is defined as the peripheral speed that an abrasive product must achieve to avoid breaking due to centrifugal force, measured in meters per second (m/s) In contrast, the maximum operating speed refers to the highest peripheral speed at which the abrasive product can function safely without failure The relationship between these speeds is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of abrasive products.

6 Verification of the requirements and inspection
Verification methods
6.1.1 Verification of the general requirements
Abrasive products shall be inspected for visual defects Damaged abrasive products shall be destroyed
The ring test shall be performed on vitrified abrasive products with D > 80 mm, with the exception of cemented and nut inserted abrasive products
In the ring test, the abrasive products are tapped with a non-metallic object An undamaged abrasive product will give a clear tone, a damaged abrasive product produces a damp or ratting tone
The safety speed test is essential for identifying faults that significantly impact the strength of bonded abrasive products During this test, the product is securely mounted in a clamping device on a test rig and subjected to increasing revolutions until reaching the designated test speed According to Table 2, the test speed is calculated based on the safety factors listed in Table 4, with a factor of 1.1 for safety factors of 1.75 and 2, and a factor of 1.2 for all other products.
6.1.2 Verification of the strength requirements
6.1.2.1 Verification of the safety factor (Bursting speed test)
The safety factor compliance, specifically the verification of bursting strength, is assessed through a centrifugal force test In this test, the abrasive product is secured in a clamping device on an appropriate test rig and subjected to gradually increasing rotational speeds until reaching the minimum bursting speed The rotation speed is measured with an accuracy of ± 1%, and the bursting speed of the abrasive product is detected and documented using a suitable device.
Bonded abrasive products must meet the minimum bursting speed requirement during testing without breaking It is important to note that all products undergoing this bursting speed test will be destroyed.
6.1.2.2 Verification of side load capacity
6.1.3 Verification of the dimensional requirements
Compliance is checked on the basis of the dimensional data and the data in the drawings using suitable measuring means, e.g limit gauge, calliper gauges, electronic measuring machines
6.1.4 Verification of the admissible unbalance
Verification by using the methods in EN ISO 6103
Verification of the marking data is effected by visual inspection
6.1.6 Verification of the requirements for blotters
Verification is effected by dimensional and visual inspection.

Example calculation of the maximum permissible speeds of rotation
According to 5.2.2, mounted wheels and points shall have a safety factor against deflection of the spindle of
The deflection speed of the spindle's rotation is significantly influenced by the unsupported overhang at the mounted point To maintain safety standards, the maximum allowable rotational speed must be determined based on the length of the spindle within the collet, as outlined in section A.1.1.
The maximum permissible speed of rotation as a function of the unsupported overhang may be determined by calculation, with the following relations (used symbols, see Table B.2):
The approximate centre of gravity distance L M and the reduced mass M shall be determined as a function of the shape of the mounted point, see Table B.1

Verification methods for side load capacity
General
Compliance with side load capacity requirements as outlined in section 5.2.3 is verified using specific methods In all cases, the abrasive product being tested is securely attached to a rotating spindle using flanges, which are sized according to the dimensions specified in Table C.1.
Table C.1 — Outside diameters of flanges for mounting abrasive products for the determination of the side load capacity
Type of abrasive product Outside diameter
Depressed-centre grinding wheels, straight and depressed-centre cutting-off wheels
Hand-held grinding and cutting-off machines
Single point side load
The rotating abrasive product is subjected to lateral loading through a live pressure roll that is consistently fed towards the axis until it breaks The ball bearing pressure roll features an outer diameter of 70 mm to 80 mm, a width of 25 mm, and a convexity of 25 mm It is positioned against one of the lateral faces of cutting-off wheels and the grinding face of depressed-centre grinding wheels The distance \( R \) between the force application point of the pressure roll and the axis of rotation of the abrasive product is measured in millimeters.
The abrasive product must operate at its designated maximum speed, while a pressure roll is applied at a feeding rate of 3 mm/s until the abrasive product fails The force exerted on the pressure roll in the feed direction, known as the single point side load \( F_{S1} \), is recorded.
Figure C.1 — Single point side load test
Three point side load
The rotating abrasive product is stabilized at the rear by two staggered live back-up rolls, while a live pressure roll is positioned at the front, centrally located between the rear rolls, applying pressure along the axis until rupture occurs.
Figure C.2 — Three point side load test
The test conditions align with the single side load test outlined in Clause C.1, where the force exerted on the pressure roll in the feed direction, known as the three-point side load \( F_{S3} \), is measured.
Impact test
The pendulum testing machine applies lateral impacts to a rotating abrasive product until it ruptures, as illustrated in Figure C.3 This machine features a frame housing a pivotable pendulum equipped with a striker and optional additional mass, with adjustable potential working capacity in 50 increments up to 20 Nm without extra mass or 42 Nm with it The striker, measuring 30 mm in diameter and 115 mm in unsupported length, engages the lateral faces of cutting-off wheels and depressed centre grinding wheels The distance \( R \) from the striker's application point to the abrasive product's axis of rotation is crucial for accurate testing.
The abrasive product is initially operated at the specified maximum speed and loaded with the minimum working capacity values outlined in Table C.1, followed by a visual inspection for any damages If no visible damage is detected, the test is conducted again with increased working capacities on the pendulum testing machine The process identifies both the highest working capacity without visible damage and the capacity of the next higher grade, along with any resulting damages.
Colour codes serve as supplementary indicators for maximum operating speeds, as outlined in Table A.1 When utilized, they must adhere to the specifications in Table D.1 It is important to note that colour codes are applicable only to the specific discrete speed values listed in Table D.1, and intermediate speeds should not feature a colour stripe.
Table D.1 — Colour codes and design of colour codes
Colour code Number and Colour Width of colour stripe Width of gap
1 × yellow 5 mm to 20 mm each at least
2 mm, not greater than width of a colour stripe
The colour code stripes must run straight through the center and across the entire diameter of the abrasive product or label, maintaining an even width Additionally, the design of the label should not hinder the clear visibility of the colour code.
Abrasive products in magnesite bond shall be marked with a white colour code independently from their maximum operating speeds
