TABER Abrasion Testing Device - Rotary Abrasion Testing Device

Application

The Taber Abrasion Tester is used for abrasion resistance and is used to determine the abrasion resistance of the abrasive material friction specified on the sample, such as abrasion resistance, mass loss, and thickness loss of the sample at a certain load and a certain speed.

The device features a rotary platform that allows two abrasive wheels to rub against the test piece at a constant speed.

The Taber abrasion tester has a wide range of applications covering numerous industries and fields. The main application areas are as follows:

• Coating Industry: It is used to test the abrasion resistance of coatings and evaluate their durability and service life in practical use.
• Plastics Industry: It is used to test the abrasion resistance of plastic products to evaluate their service life under mechanical friction, chemical corrosion, and other environments.
• Rubber Industry: It is used to test the abrasion resistance of rubber products to evaluate their service life and performance under friction, extrusion, and other environments.
• Paper Industry: It is used to test the abrasion resistance of paper to evaluate its durability and quality during printing, writing, and other processes.
• Textile Industry: It is used to test the abrasion resistance of textile products and evaluate their durability and quality during wearing, washing, and other processes.
