The Rotary Abrasion Tester is a precision-engineered instrument designed to quantitatively determine the abrasion resistance of a wide range of materials, including cloth, paper, paints, coatings, plywood, leather, and rubber. By simulating real-world wear and tear, it provides critical data on a material’s durability and longevity, consequently making it an essential tool for quality control, research, and development.
This tester operates on a well-established double-wheel method, where a rotating specimen is abraded by two freely rotating wheels, thereby creating a reproducible pattern of wear for accurate, comparative analysis.
Key Features & Benefits:
Versatile Material Testing: Capable of evaluating abrasion resistance across a broad spectrum of materials, from textiles and leather to paints and plastics.
Precision Double-Wheel Abrasion: Utilizes two abrading wheels that rotate in opposite directions, thus ensuring uniform abrasion from the center to the periphery of the specimen and effectively eliminating directional bias.
Adjustable Load Application: Furthermore, it allows for precise application of load forces (typically 500g, 750g, or 1000g on each arm) to simulate different levels of wear stress.
Reproducible & Quantifiable Results: As a result, it generates a consistent, crossed-arc abrasion pattern over a defined area (~30 cm²), which enables reliable comparison between different materials or production batches.
Comprehensive Standard Compliance: Finally, it is manufactured to meet a wide array of international standards, ensuring global acceptance of test data.
