Appendix B – ISO test setup
The ISO accessory kit includes an adapter and pad holder for using abrasive pads with the
Gardner-scrub. This guide is intended to help the user set up the Gardner-scrub for use with
the ISO standards. Please refer to specific standard for a complete description of the test
method.
Pictured are the parts that are included with
the ISO accessory kit. The adapter plate is
shown on the left and a single pad holder
and pad are shown on the right. Note that
the adapter will accommodate one, two or
three pad holders at the same time. The kit
includes one pad holder. Additional pad
holders may be purchased from BYK-
Gardner.
The ISO Adapter Plate must be installed on
the Carriage Arm. Four (4) screws are
provided in the kit. Once the Adapter Plate is
attached it can remain in place. Note the
hole configurations. Users can place one,
two or three pad holders on the Gardner-
scrub.
On the bottom of the pad holder are a series of
pins. These pins help hold the pad in position
as the Gardner-scrub moves. To use, lay the
pad on the sample surface and firmly press the
pad holder down on top of it. Make sure the
entire pad is underneath the holder. Then
lower the carriage arm onto the pad holder and
start the test.
