Wear Resistance
The time velocity pressure and depth units are often different so the wear factor units need to be carefully matched Once a K wear factor is established it can be used to calculate wear rates of such components as bearings and gears However the engineer must bear in mind that the wear rate of the plastic is affected by test PV plastic material finish part geometry ambient temperature
