The Rubber Hose Wear Testing Machine is designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance of hydraulic hoses and other similar hoses with fabric or steel wire reinforcement and a smooth, flat surface. It can also be applied to other pipes, tubing, and flat plates to determine their wear resistance. The tester is widely used by hose manufacturers, research institutes, and quality inspection units to ensure product durability and reliability under specific working conditions.
(1) Hydraulic hose testing: Measuring wear resistance of hoses with fabric or steel wire reinforcement.
(2) Other hose testing: Evaluating wear properties of rubber hoses for industrial or automotive use.
(3) Pipe and plate testing: Determining abrasion resistance of rubber or polymer-based pipes and flat plates.
(4) Quality control: Ensuring products meet required durability and reliability standards.
(5) Scientific research: Assessing material performance in laboratory studies and R&D projects.

(1) Accurate wear testing: Evaluates hose and pipe abrasion resistance under controlled conditions.
(2) Standard compliant: Meets national and international testing standards (GB, ISO, EN, KS).
(3) Versatile application: Suitable for hoses, pipes, and flat rubber or polymer plates.
(4) Quantitative results: Provides precise measurement of wear resistance for quality control and R&D.
(5) Durable design: Built to withstand repeated testing cycles in laboratories and production environments.
(1) Mount the hose sample onto the test station and secure it to prevent axial movement or rotation.
(2) Position the abrasive tool to contact the hose surface and apply the specified vertical static load (default 50 N ±0.5 N if not specified).
(3) Start the machine and run the test for the required number of cycles.
(4) After testing, remove the hose assembly and clean off any attached debris.
(5) Weigh the sample again if required to assess wear loss.
(6) Record the test data for evaluation of wear resistance.
(1) Clean the abrasive tool and test stations after each use to prevent material buildup.
(2) Inspect the mandrels and shafts regularly for wear or deformation.
(3) Check the weight load system for proper calibration and adjust if necessary.
(4) Lubricate moving parts periodically to maintain smooth operation.
(5) Store the machine in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
