Rotary-abrasion-tester

The Rotary Platform Abrasion Testing method was introduced in the 1930's and has been a popular method for evaluating abrasion and wear resistance. TABER abrasion resistance tester and wear resistance tester can be replaced by wheel and weight, which apply to the abrasion resistance performance test on fabric, cardboard, paint, leather, tile, glass and natural rubber, method is simple and easy to operate, which has been widely used in various industry's testing laboratory. Usually, two elastomer samples are tested. The result is calculated by measuring the weight loss per thousand cycles of abrasion. Abrasive wheels are commonly made of vitrified clay, and they come in a several levels of coarseness. The test procedure is to abrade specimens against a pair of grinding wheels under a specified pressure. The Rotary Abrasion Tester is supplied with Vacuum unit and optionally a trimming machine may be obtained.

With the rotary abrasion method, a rub-wear action (sliding rotation) is applied on the surface of the test piece and the abrasion marks create a pattern of crossed arcs in a circular band that cover an area of 30 cm2. A key characteristic of rotary abrasion tester (abrader / abraser) is the wheels traverse a complete circle on the sample surface, showing abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the grain or weave of thematerial.

Qinsun also offers a complete selection of abrading wheels and sample holders for all types of specimens and materials.
