The first is supplied with a 337 gram weight for testing towards ASTM D4213:92 and ASTM D4828 and the second is supplied with an additional 250 gram weight, for testing towards ASTM D3450. The third sponge tool has an abrasive pad attached to the top and bottom of the sponge and also includes a 76 gram weight, for testing in accordance to ASTM D4213. The abrasive tool is simply the abrasive pad, without the sponge, for working with ISO 11998. Sponge tools are ideal for testing on any product that will need to be washed or cleaned using a traditional washing up sponge with water and soap.

This tool includes a felt disc and additional weights, allowing the tool to work under a pressure of either 400 grams, for testing in accordance to GME 60269 or 900 grams for testing in accordance to EN 13523-11 and ECCA T11.
