Testing Abrasion Resistance of Hoses

Testing Abrasion Resistance of Hoses

Testing Abrasion Resistance of Hoses

(OP)
Is there an ASTM standard method for testing and rating the abrasion resistance of various hose/pipe materials?  The closest I can find is ASTM D 5963 Standard Test Method for Rubber PropertyAbrasion Resistance (Rotary Drum Abrader).  D5963 seems to apply to flat sheet samples that you can run a grinding wheel type device over.  In the case of rubber hose and plastic pipe it is difficult to obtain flat samples of the exact material and even if you could, would that be a relevant test?

The application of this data is in a grain handling system where grain is being pneumatically conveyed through hoses and the client wants to be able to evaluate one type of hose over another and determine if a more expensive hose is actually more resistant to abrasion than the cheaper type.

If anyone has any experience with this please let me know.
