Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[The] apparatus [used to conduct such an experiment] consists essentially of a "pin" in contact with a rotating disc. Either the pin or the disc can be the test piece of interest. The contact surface of the pin may be flat, spherical, or, indeed, of any convenient geometry, including that of actual wear components. In a typical pin-on-disc experiment, the coefficient of friction is continuously monitored as wear occurs, and the material removed is determined by weighing and/or measuring the profile of the resulting wear track. 2, record 1, English, - pin%2Don%2Ddisc%20testing

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Para conocer la resistencia al desgaste de un material se efectuan pruebas de desgaste en un dispositivo de pin-sobre-disco. El pin, espiga o punta es presionado bajo una carga sobre una superficie plana de un disco de acero en rotación. La máquina de pruebas causa que el pin o el disco giren entre sí; como consecuencia de ello, se forma un camino de desgaste en el disco. 2, record 1, Spanish, - prueba%20de%20desgaste%20pin%2Dsobre%2Ddisco

Each sample is identified and then prepared for grading using precision equipment approved by the Commission for weighing the sample and for removing dockage. A portion of the cleaned sample is tested for moisture using laboratory approved apparatus. The sample is then examined for all grading factors. Grade is determined and recorded with notations to indicate reasons for assigning a specific grade. An official certificate of grade is issued for all samples officially taken and an advice of grade is issued for unofficial samples submitted. These documents indicate grade, and where necessary, moisture content. All export shipments are accompanied by a document called a Certificate Final which shows the quantity and grade of the shipment. 1, record 4, English, - standardized%20grading%20procedure

Chaque échantillon est identifié puis préparé en vue de son agréage à l'aide de l'équipement de précision approuvé par la Commission pour sa pesée et l'enlèvement des impuretés. On mesure la teneur en eau d'une partie de l'échantillon nettoyé à l'aide des appareils de laboratoire approuvés. On examine ensuite les divers facteurs d'agréage. Le grade, une fois reconnu, est enregistré, avec des notes justifiant l'attribution du grade. Un certificat est délivré pour chacun des échantillons officiellement prélevés, tandis que les échantillons soumis qui n'ont pas été pris officiellement font l'objet d'une recommandation d'agréage. Ces documents indiquent le grade et, s'il y a lieu, la teneur en eau. Toutes les expéditions exportées sont accompagnées d'un document appelé certificat final qui indique la quantité, la classe et le grade de la cargaison. 1, record 4, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20d%27agr%C3%A9age%20normalis%C3%A9
