DIN 53516 is a standard that specifies a method for determining the abrasion resistance of rubber compounds. The test involves rotating a cylindrical rubber specimen against a rotating abrasive wheel under specified conditions of pressure, speed, and abrasive material. The amount of abrasion is determined by measuring the mass loss of the specimen or the volume of the wear scar.

DIN 53516 is used in the rubber industry to assess the performance of rubber materials in applications where wear resistance is a critical factor. Examples include automotive tires, conveyor belts, and footwear.

The test findings are presented in terms of sample volume loss in cubic millimeters (mm3). The lesser the volume loss, the greater the rubber material’s abrasion resistance. The test findings can also be used to compute the abrasion resistance index (ARI), which is a relative assessment of the material’s abrasion resistance.
