Abrasive wheels undergo thorough testing to ensure safety and performance adherence to industry standards set by ANSI, OSHA, NIOSH, ASTM, and IMAA. These tests include balance to prevent vibration, diameter to ensure proper fit, face and side runout to prevent wobbling, hardness for wear resistance, markings for accurate identification, porosity to determine moisture susceptibility, ring test for crack detection, speed test to establish maximum operating speed, thickness to ensure correct grinding depth, and vibration analysis to prevent equipment damage or operator injury.
