Taber 1700 / 1750 Rotary Platform Abrasion Tester
“Taber Test” delivers reliable data in minutes. Used to evaluate a material’s resistance to wear, a flat specimen is mounted to a turntable platform that rotates on a vertical axis. As the turntable rotates, contact of the specimen against the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels cause wear while a vacuum system removes loose wear debris during the test. The resulting abrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs in a circular band that cover an area approximately 30 cm2
Description
Easy to operate, the Abrasion Tester has been specified by numerous industries as the standard for wear and abrasion research, quality and process control, materials evaluation, and product development. Its field of application includes tests of painted, lacquered, powder coated, and electroplated surfaces; textile fabrics ranging from sheer silks to heavy upholstery and carpeting; solid materials such as metals, stone and ceramics; plus plastics, leather, rubber, linoleum, laminates, glass, paper, and many others .
Different grades of standardised abrasive wheels have been engineered to meet varying requirements of abrasive action enabling the instrument to be used to test a diverse range of materials. Available as Calibrase® or Calibrade®, these proprietary abradants are designed so the binder material breaks down during use, exposing new abrasive particles. Optional accessories for the Abrasion Tester, such as the Grit Feeder or Scuffing Head Attachments, can be used to expand the type of test being conducted .
